Help Needed: San Francisco Officials Seek Identification of Deceased Man
San Francisco officials are reaching out to the public for assistance in identifying a man who tragically passed away earlier this month. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has released a sketch of the man in hopes of gathering crucial information. The man’s body was discovered on November 11th near 355 Buckingham Way, close to San Francisco State University campus.
According to the OCME, the man is estimated to be around 25 years old and described as a white male with red hair, green eyes, and a full beard. Despite extensive efforts, including fingerprint checks, interviews with local residents, and collaboration with the California Department of Justice’s Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit, the OCME has been unable to positively identify the deceased individual. This case is considered rare, as the OCME typically identifies individuals within 24 hours.
The circumstances surrounding the man’s death remain unknown at this time, and the investigation is ongoing. The San Francisco Police Department and the OCME are urging anyone with relevant information about the man’s identity to come forward. If you have any details that could assist in identifying the deceased, please contact the OCME Investigative Division at 415-641-2220 or email OCME.INV@SFGOV.ORG or OCME@SFGOV.ORG. Reference the case number 2023-1607 when providing information.
