The osteological analysis confirmed the number of individuals at three, nicknamed Tom, Dick, and Harry. The general profile for each person is summarised below:
| Sex: | male |
| Age: | 17 +/-2 years |
| Race: | likely Caucasian |
| Stature: | 168 +/-4cm |
| Pathology: | Evidence suggestive of disease. If so, the exact cause remains unknown. Caries and periodontitis associated with poor dental hygiene. |
| Anomalies: | Demonstrated the presence of spina bifida occulta, evident in the sacral region. |
| Cause of death: | Could not be determined. |
| General: | Very well built. Probably smoked tobacco and/or drank tea regularly. |
| Sex: | male |
| Age: | 22 +/-3 years |
| Race: | likely Caucasian |
| Stature: | 167 +/-4cm |
| Pathology: | Little evidence of pathology with the exception of probable periodontitis, associated with poor dental hygiene. |
| Anomalies: | Laterally deviated spinous processes in the thoracic vertebral column, of unknown cause. |
| Cause of death: | Could not be determined. |
| General: | Inconclusive evidence suggests that Dick may have been higher in rank aboard Pandora. |
| Sex: | male |
| Age: | 28 +/-4 years |
| Race: | Caucasian |
| Stature: | 166 +/-3cm |
| Pathology: | Evidence suggestive of long-term systemic disease. Well-developed caries and periodontal disease associated with poor dental hygiene and a bony mandibular abscess. Localised surface porosity on the left radius of unknown origin. |
| Anomalies: | Developmental anomalies of the skull, suggestive of pathology. |
| Cause of death: | Could not be determined. |
