On July 10, 2020, the lifeless body of Emiliano Rivas, a Chilean national, was discovered in his residence in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His roommates found him unresponsive, and upon arrival, the Emergency Medical Services pronounced him dead on the scene. Despite efforts by the authorities, locating Rivas's next of kin has been unsuccessful, rendering him an unclaimed person.
The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is the leading agency handling this case. Based in Boston, they are responsible for the examination and determination of the cause of death for cases such as this.

Efforts continue in attempting to trace any family or connections that Rivas might have had both locally or abroad, to provide closure and ensure proper proceedings for his remains. The situation highlights the challenges that can arise in identifying next of kin, especially in cases involving foreign nationals who may have limited social ties in their resident country.
