On September 21, 2018, the medical examiner’s office in Honolulu, Hawaii was alerted to a case involving the deceased body of Kim H. Austin, who was found in his apartment. The discovery brought forth the challenge of handling an unclaimed person case, as Kim Austin had no known next of kin or relatives to claim his remains. The circumstances of his death, as well as any background information that might shed light on his past, remain largely undisclosed.
The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office, located at 835 Iwilei Road, has taken responsibility for the case, designated under agency case number 18-2247. Despite extensive efforts, the agency has been unable to locate anyone connected to Kim who could offer insight into his life or make arrangements for his final resting place. This situation underscores the often complex nature of unclaimed persons cases, where individuals, for various reasons, have no one to come forward on their behalf.
For those seeking additional information or wishing to assist in the matter, the Medical Examiner's office encourages outreach through their contact number, 808-768-3090, or by visiting their official website at https://www.honolulu.gov/med. The agency continues to uphold its commitment to respecting and handling such sensitive cases with care, in hopes of eventually bringing closure to the situation surrounding Kim H. Austin.
