In January of 2023, the body of a 53-year-old male, Marvin M. Carter, was discovered in his apartment in Tacoma, Washington. Despite efforts made by local authorities, no family members or friends have come forward to claim his remains. The case has since been recorded with the NamUs ID UCP101595, indicating it as an unclaimed person case.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office has been actively involved in the handling of Mr. Carter's case. With their office located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, they remain the primary point of contact for any inquiries or potential claimants. They have been unable to locate anyone who might have had close personal ties with Marvin, such as family or close friends, which has resulted in his remains being unclaimed.
Compassionately, the agency has made arrangements for Marvin Carter’s cremains to be available for claim at any time by any individual who may have known him or wishes to ensure he receives a respectful resting place. Those interested in claiming his remains or desiring further information about his case are encouraged to contact the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office directly at 253-798-6494. The agency is committed to resolving this case with dignity and remains hopeful that someone will come forward to claim Marvin M. Carter’s remains.
