Tragically TV Squad blogger Adam Finley passed away this weekend after being hit by a bus while he was riding his bike.

To identify his body investigators used the serial number of an iPod with the cooperation of Apple.

Investigators with the Hennepin (Minn.) County medical examiner’s office say they tried for nearly two days to identify the man, who had only the iPod and some keys in his possession when the accident happened Thursday.

With help from Apple employees, they used the digital music player’s serial number to trace the device to Adam Ray Finley, 30, a former Des Moines man who moved to the Twin Cities five years ago. [...] fingerprints would not have helped investigators because his son had “never been in trouble in his life.”
