unidentified remains

Unidentified remains refer to human bodies or body parts that have not been recognized or positively identified by authorities. These remains may lack clear identification due to decomposition, trauma, or damage, making it difficult to determine who they are. Forensic experts utilize various methods like DNA analysis, dental records, and personal artifacts to establish identity. Identifying remains is essential for closure for families and for criminal investigations. Until identification is confirmed, these remains are considered "unidentified," and they remain in investigation until more information can be gained.
