If you look on the Ontario UID website (administered by the OPP), there are a lot of unidentified. Many (at least in the GTA), seem to be homeless people, suicides (jumpers from bridges and subway platforms), and so on.

A few are unusual cases, people with what should be lots of identifying information, or individuals that spoke to people and were seen alive shortly before they died. The website has been updated lately, it seems.
 
Bumping with this suggestion, although Lance has red hair, it may have appeared to be brown.

wow... Look at the eyes of the JD and Lances close up picture... I would submit it.
 
Bumping
The day this UID was found was a Monday, wondering why he had $70 on his person, was he planning on shopping for something at the Bay store located at that subway?
Did he have to buy books for school?
Wondering what his glasses looked like?
Which artists were on the cassette tape he had, were they local bands, if so, perhaps he was in one of those bands or a fan and might be remembered?
imo, speculation.
 
This young man went missing a number of years earlier than the UID was found, but posting due to his blue eyes and good teeth, also,he is from Ontario.

This might be a stretch considering he went missing 9 years earlier, but the hair and jaw really struck me as similar and descriptions match up fairly well (except for jewellery, but a lot can happen in 9 years). Thoughts?

Bumping and wishing that they would release the names of the artists on the decedent's cassette tape, if it includes a local Toronto band it might help with identification.
Noting that this updated link includes pm pics.

Circumstances of Discovery
The decedent was located in Toronto at the Bloor and Yonge Street Subway Station on November 5, 1990.
 
It would be great if they released photos of his ring, tie clip, and glasses. Anything that could help to better identify who this man was. I also agree that a list of bands / artists on the cassette tape could be helpful.
 
I reached out to TPS via email and they took a while to get back to me. Their missing persons unit confirmed that they no longer have his property in their possession.
 
Postmortems look much younger than the recons. I'd put this UID on the younger end of his age range.
