His body was discovered in 2001, they identified him last year.RWG's NamUs page is down, so I assume he's no longer missing.

One thing you should know is that in the note, he said something along the lines of...It would be interesting to eventually see who he was and how he ended up in the circumstances he ended up in.

"I decided to travel from country to country and never return home".
No, but I'm aware of the details of the suicide note. Have never read it word for word though. I understand that coroner's offices may not want to release someone's suicide note. I totally respect that. But the details in it that may help identify him are important and those can be shared, unlike details as to why he says he did or his depression problems.Did you file a records request for this body too? Or is this public in some place that hasn't been linked here before?

Yesterday, I e-mailed the Clark County Coroner's office and asked why they believed that this particular UID was from Europe. I received a response from Rick James, Coroner Investigator, that really surprised me --
Our records indicate that on January 19, 1997, the decedent was found west of Industrial Avenue, north of Spring Mountain, hanging from a billboard (within the structure). A suicide note was found. He had indicated that he did not want to be identified. He claimed both his parents were deceased, he had not spoken to any of his family in over 10 years and he had destroyed or disposed of all of his personal belongings and identification. He had lived in many different countries and had been educated in Europe. Notation from our since retired pathologist - "Review of the suicide note would indicate that he was not British. His use of the English language is not consistent with the conventional British education. He claims to have been born and educated in Europe but he does not specify which country/countries. He states that during the past 30 years, he has lived on three continents and worked in many cities. This is at least consistent with his age in his fifties." We sent his prints to BHS Homeland Security along with local and FBI nationwide AFIS and there were no matches.
In retrospect, I was looking through missing persons reports that were much too recent.
