On March 18, 2021, a male body was discovered unresponsive at a bus stop in Memphis, Tennessee. A passerby noticed the individual and promptly contacted emergency services. Responding to the call, emergency personnel arrived at the scene and transported the man to Methodist South Hospital for further medical attention. Despite efforts to save him, the man was later pronounced deceased.
The individual was subsequently identified as John Woodard Garner through the use of fingerprint analysis conducted by the Medical Examiner's office. Despite having successfully identified him, authorities have faced challenges in locating any next of kin. As a result, John Woodard Garner remains an unclaimed person, contributing to the myriad of cases where individuals pass away without any immediate relatives stepping forward.
Handling the investigation, the Memphis Police Department has been utilizing various resources to try and locate family or acquaintances connected to Garner. However, despite their efforts, there have been no successful contacts with potential next of kin. The case remains an open file with the Memphis Police Department, located at 170 North Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee.
