I’d be curious about the unknown in his/her 40s. Was the body badly damaged? Is this a matter of non-gender conformity (unless one is dealing with less common expressions of that I would think the death would be included with the expressed gender).

Cermak_Rd - These reports have included records like that before. I suspect it’s more likely an issue of a preliminary report where a detail was left out by the reporting agency or hospital.
