Body found in Turks and Caicos identified as missing American Brian Tarrence
His remains were found during a search on July 5, but the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force said they were only able to confirm his identity Wednesday after receiving the results of a forensic dental analysis.
The police force said no signs of trauma were discovered during the autopsy, and they do not suspect foul play.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
"The RT&CIPF extends our condolences to Mr. Tarrence's family and friends during this difficult time. We thank the public for their patience and support as we continue the investigation," the police force said in a statement, in part.
Tarrence, 52, was vacationing on the island with his wife, Maria, when he disappeared.
He was last seen on surveillance video walking away from his hotel around 3:30 a.m. on June 25.
Tarrence and his wife moved to Midtown Manhattan in 2024 and previously lived in Orange County. They had been married for one year.
Tarrence worked as a vice president at Diligent Software.Tony Aiello

Police say 3 killed, 10 injured in the Turks and Caicos Islands' first mass shooting
Three young men were killed and 10 others injured at a popular nightspot in the Turks and Caicos Islands in what authorities called the British territory's first mass shooting in recent history. At least four suspects were involved in the shooting early Sunday on the island of Providenciales, but no one has been arrested, according to Police Commissioner Fitz Bailey, who called it 'deeply disturbing.' 'We are now having a gangland-type slaying, and a lot of this gang violence seems to be concentrated in our Haitian communities,' Premier Charles Washington Misick told a press conference. He called on the Haitian community to cooperate with police, saying some of them know how guns are being smuggled into the Turks and Caicos Islands. 'What is happening here is unlike anything we've ever seen before,' he said. 'This is not a situation we should accept.' The shooting comes as the archipelago cracks down on illegal immigration. An estimated 10,900 Haitians live in the Turks and Caicos Islands, representing a third of the territory's population. Around 80% of Haitians live in Providenciales, and 20% have permanent residency, according to the United Nations humanitarian affairs office. Acting Gov. Anya Williams said the hospital in Providenciales was on lockdown to protect those being treated for their injuries. She said at least two of those injured were flown overseas for further treatment.
