I'm not finding Paul Tansey in any of the databases, I looked in Doe Network, findthemissing, Charley project, LBTH and Nampn. Could he have been located?
Here's a blog with his missing information

The UID is still there but the link has changed:

NamUs #UP335 - The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

"Fingerprints were unobtainable due to decomposition. Probable accidental drowning. Coroner's report indicates that this man may have Asian type features but this is not definitive. No samples remain for DNA submission."

 

[Melt71]

"No samples remains for DNA submission" does this mean this UID was cremated? Or were the remains buried and back when this case was last assessed and this sentence entered into Namus, DNA testing hadn't yet evolved to old remains?

 

[Caring1]

Not much information in the original news article either but a slight difference in PMI vs what NamUs reported. Expand timeframe if searching for MP match.

Article states body may have been in the water for more than 2 months.

NamUs states 6 weeks for PMI.
