When police find a body that never! gets identified, what happens to the body?

A Missing/Unidentified Report is made (NYPD) - Pictures of the person are taken for field information investigation - unless it is a child - then a sketch of the child as if he/she were alive are made.

An autopsy is completed and filed. The body will usually lay at the morgue for a month+ if apparent homicide, longer - then off to Potters Field for a burial with a number.

Two words... Taco Bell. :p

Just kidding, I imagine they take dna, and records of the death and any identifiable things, then incinerate them.

That dead body will have a new name? John Doe -- Sound good to me - and why are you asking this kind of question?

The state would pay for a burial, and the grave would likely be listed under a reference number of some sort.

I guess they would either keep it frozen for future investigation or bury it.
