Bill Grotjahn, with the Medical Examiner's Office in neighboring Alachua County, said that Highnote's body has not been claimed.
News4Jax has not been able to obtain a picture of Highnote, but visited his home in Bell and talked to neighbors, who said he kept to himself.
The two deputies were laid to rest Tuesday.
