Does anyone know how long after death a body is unidentifiable? If ever

[VikingWinger]

I'm planning to travel far away before ctb and will probably be presumed missing. I'll warn the ones I care about and say that I'm heading on a trip, but nothing more than that. Don't have the stomach to say I'm gonna travel to kill myself. I'd rather disappear.

Id imagine travelling abroad would make it harder to identify

I will be assuming you would remove any items that may connect to your identity like cards/electronic devices/license/passport. It will be harder for them to identify you. Then again it does depend if it is released into the news and somehow traced back to where you are from.

Of course you wouldn't say where you are going.

Identification through dental records seems possible long after the rest of a body has deteriorated, although I have no idea how that works or what the process is.

Yeah I wouldn't operate on the premise of being unidentifiable. People have been ID'ed decades after their death and we're only going to get better at it as technology advances.

Got to agree you better of trying to find a place no one ever finds you

DNA ensures you will be identifiable for the next few centuries, unless you somehow arrange to have your corpse buried in some substance that completely destroys it all --perhaps quicklime?

I would be surprised if there isn't already a missing person database where families searching for lost members can bank their own DNA in hopes of an eventual match to some otherwise anonymous corpse.

Unless you are dissolved in acid you will be identified one way or another
