On October 25, 2021, the body of an individual identified as Isaias Bonilla was discovered in Manhattan, New York. This case, cataloged under Namus ID UCP86352, remains open as an unclaimed person. Despite the body’s discovery over two years ago, Isaias Bonilla’s case has not been resolved, and no next of kin or claimants have come forward to lay claim to him. As investigations continue, the focus remains on finding any relatives or individuals who might have information regarding Bonilla, with the hope of providing closure to his family and friends.
The Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of New York City, which is handling the case, has been diligently pursuing leads to resolve the identity and circumstances surrounding this case. Under the agency case number M21-35025, the OCME is responsible for the examination, identification, and safe handling of the remains until a lawful claimant is identified. This responsibility involves not only the medical examination but also the necessary bureaucratic and legal processes that accompany such unfortunate situations.
Those with any information that might assist in identifying relatives or associates of Isaias Bonilla are encouraged to contact the New York City OCME directly. The agency can be reached at their office located at 520 First Avenue, New York, New York. The contact number for the office is 212-447-2030, where information can be relayed to aid in resolving this case. Additional information regarding the roles and responsibilities of the OCME can be accessed through their official website at https://www.nyc.gov/site/ocme/index.page. By working collectively, there is hope of bringing a humane closure to this lingering situation.
