On August 26, 2024, the body of 79-year-old Susan M. Johnson was discovered at a care facility in Tacoma, Washington. She passed away due to natural causes. Despite the efforts of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, no family or friends have been located to claim her remains, leaving Susan's death as a case of an unclaimed person. This situation is not uncommon among older individuals who may have outlived their closest kin or lost connections with remaining family and friends.
The case, identified by NamUs ID UCP128538 and agency case number 242201, is currently managed by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. The agency continues its pursuit to find anyone connected to Susan M. Johnson who might be willing to claim her remains. Their contact number, for anyone who might have information or wishes to help, is 253-798-6494. Despite the particular challenges encountered due to a lack of direct acquaintances, authorities remain hopeful that a resolution can eventually be reached.
In the meantime, Susan's cremains remain available for claim by any individual at any time. This stipulation provides an opportunity for any person, whether they uncover prior acquaintance or are moved by Susan's story, to come forward and offer her the dignity of claiming her remains, a final act of compassion for someone who might have slipped through the cracks of society. Should anyone wish to learn more about the specific case or processes involved, the medical examiner's office invites inquiries and continually updates its information in the hope of securing a meaningful connection.
