Can you help to identify New York John Doe (November 2021)? While he was sleeping, he was set on fire. He had severe burns over more than 75% of his body, and died 13 days later.

Can you help to identify New York John Doe (November 2021)? While he was sleeping, he was set on fire. He had severe burns over more than 75% of his body, and died 13 days later.

**He was 25-40 years old. A white man and 5'9". He weighted 193 lbs. He had hazel eyes. He had previous cranial surgery. **

He was found on November 18, 2021 and brought to hospital.

He was sleeping in the stairwell of the Samuel Gompers Houses when a man set fire to his pants leg.

A picture of him is attached here.

The full story of what happened is found in the link below but it is a disgusting/traumatic story so I would not advise reading. His photo and measurements should hopefully be sufficient to identify him. https://nypost.com/2021/11/20/video-shows-homeless-man-being-torched-to-death-in-nyc-stairwell/

If you have information, you can contact (212) 447-2030 (Office of Chief Medical Examiner NYC) ; his case number is M21-37507.
