Riviera Maya, Q.R. — State authorities have published information cards on unclaimed bodies in state morgues. It is the second attempt to find the families of the deceased.
According to the State Attorney General (FGE) 126 bodies have been returned to families through this method. In the second block, 93 identification cards have been made public in hopes of matching family members with those that remain in the care of local forensics.
The FGE says the human identification cards are the details of unclaimed bodies and/or remains that are still in morgues and in the forensic cemetery around the state.
“In this second batch, 93 missing persons identification cards were released, which are available on the official website https://noidentificados.fgeqroo.gob.mx/noreclamados and the Facebook page of Búsqueda QRoo (@BusquedaQRoo) with the aim of facilitating their recognition by family members,” the FGE reported.
The Quintana Roo State Attorney General’s Office is calling on citizens to contact the following numbers if they identify or recognize any person: 998-881-71-50 extension 2130 or 998-684-46-07.
The identification process is carried out using fingerprint scanners donated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The fingerprints of the deceased are scanned and once digitized, they are sent to the National Electoral Institute (INE) which returns a list of possible matches based on its database records.
Subsequently, experts specializing in fingerprint analysis and human identification from the FGE compare the deceased’s fingerprints with those provided by the National Electoral Institute (INE).
In the event of a positive match, the INE provides the available personal information such as name and address, among other data.
The State Attorney General’s Office reaffirms its commitment to continue working on actions that allow for the identification of individuals and the dignified restitution of their loved ones to their families.
