I thought medical hardware had a serial number that could be tracked. Unless that was not being done when this guy had his rod put in.
 
Does anyone know what happened with him? Where any missing persons removed at the same time?
I couldn't find any updates about his identification. There were no public potential MPs removed close to the date his profile was archived. The closest ones were David Jackson (MP43354) on October 3, 2023 and Mark Weisman (MP10801) on February 26, 2024.
