The case of a homeless man who died in hospital has been placed on Ireland’s human remains database in a bid to establish his true identity.

The man, known as Piotr Torng, died in November 2024 and was buried in the Alice Leahy Trust plot in Glasnevin a year ago. An inquest into his death held last October heard he died in St James’s Hospital almost two weeks after suffering a cardiac arrest.
