"Toronto police have confirmed the identity of a man found dead in Lake Ontario more than 30 years ago, utilizing advanced DNA technology. The man was discovered in the Inner Harbour area on July 27, 1992, but traditional investigative methods were unable to identify him. In January of this year, a DNA profile was uploaded to public-facing databases, leading to a significant lead within days."
"Investigators obtained a DNA sample from a potential close relative located in Western Canada, and subsequent testing confirmed the man's identity last week. The individual, referred to only as Kevin by police, had not been reported missing, but authorities noted that his loved ones had long feared the worst regarding his fate."
