On October 12, 2022, the body of Angel Bermeo, an 85-year-old male, was discovered at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) in Loma Linda, California. Despite passing away under the care of medical professionals at the facility, his remains went unclaimed. With no next of kin discovered or individuals coming forward to claim his body, LLUMC sought permission for indigent cremation as a resolution to this unfortunate and lonely circumstance.
Angel Bermeo was identified as being originally from Ecuador, which may have contributed to the difficulty in locating any family or associates who could take responsibility for his remains. Given the challenges in identifying any relatives or beneficiaries, the responsibility for handling Bermeo's case fell to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, specifically the Coroner Division. Their anonymized records marked his file under the Namus ID: UCP109721 and designated it with the Agency Case Number: 702208767.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Coroner Division, located at 175 South Lena Road in San Bernardino, California, provided oversight for Bermeo's unclaimed remains. Individuals looking for more information or who might have known Angel Bermeo were encouraged to reach out to the agency via their contact number, 909-387-2978, or through their website. The agency undertook their role solemnly, handling his case with the sensitivity and respect such situations warrant, while managing the various administrative and procedural matters typical of unclaimed persons cases.
