David Green's case is a poignant reminder of those individuals who leave this world without anyone to claim them. Found deceased on November 5, 2022, in Lakewood, Washington, David Green, a male, was identified under the Namus ID: UCP98558. He passed away of natural causes while being treated as an inpatient at St. Clare Hospital. His life before the hospital was spent as a resident at Western State Hospital, and previously as a ward of the state of Vermont. Despite efforts, the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office has been unable to locate any family members or friends who could claim his remains.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, has been actively involved in this case. Unfortunately, all attempts to reach out to potential relatives or acquaintances of David Green have been fruitless. As a result, David's cremains remain unclaimed, though they are available to be claimed by any individual at any time. For those who may have information or are interested in claiming David's remains, the office can be contacted at 253-798-6494. The agency is committed to handling such sensitive cases with the utmost respect and diligence.
This particular case underscores the many instances where an individual slips through the cracks, leaving behind no visible ties to family or community. It highlights the importance of community involvement and awareness in identifying and connecting with those who are left unattended after death. Although David was under the care of state institutions in both Vermont and Washington, his story ends without a personal connection coming forward. It is hoped that by sharing his story, someone who knew him might be reached, providing David Green with the dignity of a proper closure through the acknowledgment of his life.
