On August 31, 2023, the body of 34-year-old Tristen James Soren Morrison was discovered in Tacoma, Washington. Despite investigative efforts, the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office has been unable to locate any family members or friends to claim his remains. As the designated agency responsible for handling such cases, the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office has taken steps to identify next of kin but has so far been unsuccessful.
Tristen’s case is recorded under the Namus ID UCP110602 and the agency case number 232368. It exemplifies the challenges faced by medical examiners when they are tasked with managing the affairs of unclaimed individuals. These situations highlight the complexities and often tragic circumstances surrounding individuals who pass away without any known or reachable relatives or friends. The lack of available contact information further complicates efforts to find someone who might have known Tristen or could provide insights into his family history.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, remains open to any information that might lead to the identification of a person eligible to claim Tristen’s cremated remains. Interested individuals can contact the office at the phone number 253-798-6494 with any potential leads or inquiries. The office has made it clear that these cremated remains may be claimed by any individual at any time, offering a glimmer of hope that Tristen's story can find some closure, possibly through the actions of someone who knew him in life.
