An artist’s rendering of the deceased was released to the public to identify him without success.Police then turned to genetic genealogy for assistance.In the fall of 2022, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service provided a biological sample to Othram Inc. in the U.S., where a DNA profile was developed.
