Still Unidentified.

Mentioned briefly in a recent article about another UID pulled from the river in Sept 2018:

The man eulogized by strangers Wednesday is among a small number of other similar open cases in the region involving unidentified bodies retrieved from rivers. In late April, Alexander County officials received a call from barge operators who discovered a body caught between their barges on the Ohio River near Cairo, about 45 miles downstream from Brookport.

Unidentified man found in Ohio River was buried Wednesday. He's among small number of similar cases in region.
