Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we request updated, newly created, or amended information relating to deceased individuals within your jurisdiction who were confirmed as having no known next of kin, as well as those whose next-of-kin status was not confirmed, for the period from 2025 up to the date this request is processed (rather than the date on which it is logged).
This request does not seek information identical to that previously requested or you may have disclosed, but is limited to information that has been created, revised, or otherwise not held at the time of the authority’s most recent response to earlier FOI requests on this subject.

• The full name of the deceased.
• The date of birth of the deceased.
• The last known residential address of the deceased.
• The full address and/or contact details of the location where the deceased passed away.
• The date of death.
For deceased individuals confirmed as having no known next of kin, or where enquiries are ongoing to establish next-of-kin status, please also provide:
• Whether the deceased was known to have held any assets and/or property at the time of death.
• The name, full address and contact details of the crematorium or burial site where the deceased was cremated or buried.
