Body found at Oregon house identified as missing Disney Mouseketeer Dennis Day
A body found in April at the Oregon home of Dennis Day, an original Disney Mouseketeer who disappeared 11 months ago, has been identified as the missing man, state police said Thursday.

The human remains found at Day's Phoenix, Oregon, home were identified by the Oregon State Medical Examiner's office, although they were unable to use dental records or DNA because of the condition of the remains, according to a press release from the Oregon State Police.

There was no word on the cause of death, nor whether it was the result of foul play or accident. The state police investigation remains ongoing, the press release said.

Day, 76, a Mouseketeer with Disney's Mickey Mouse Club for two years in the mid-1950s, had not been seen since July 2018, when he vanished from Phoenix in rural central Oregon.

With all respect to the deceased, first time I saw this referenced I thought of the other Dennis Day, who died awhile back.

Strange. I wonder why they couldn't use dental records. The jaw bone and teeth should not have decomposed.

Still with all respect to this one, he did die awhile back.

and yet I'll bet he could still be identified via dental records. My mother was ID'd with only one jaw bone.
