On December 13, 2022, the body of a 64-year-old male named Liem Lam was discovered in Lakewood, Washington. According to records, he passed away in Saint Clare Hospital from natural causes. Despite efforts made by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office to locate family or friends, Liem Lam remains unclaimed as no known relatives have stepped forward to claim his remains.
The case, cataloged under the Namus ID UCP108722 and agency case number 223413, has presented a challenge for the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office. Despite their standard procedures to trace and contact any next of kin, they have been unable to find anyone connected to Liem Lam who could provide him a proper remembrance or final farewell. This case highlights the isolation some individuals face at the end of their life, where circumstances have led to a lack of any familial or social ties capable of attending to their passing.
While Liem Lam’s remains have been cremated, there is an open invitation for anyone who might have known him or may wish to honor his memory in some way to step forward. The cremains are available to be claimed by any individual at any time, providing a measure of dignity to a man who, in death, has so far been without someone to call family. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington, continues to handle such cases with care and encourages anyone with information or wishes relating to Liem Lam to contact them at 253-798-6494.
