toe tags
Corpse identification markers
Toe tags are the identification labels attached to corpses, typically tied to the big toe in morgues or at crime scenes.
They record basic information: name, date of death, case number.
The term often appears in contexts emphasizing violent death or mortality: He'll leave here in a body bag with a toe tag.
Metaphorically, something with a toe tag is dead or finished.
