Carlos C. Jara, a 67-year-old resident of an assisted living facility, passed away from natural causes on June 26, 2024, in Edgewood, Washington. Following his death, efforts by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office to find family or friends who could claim his remains have been unsuccessful. His passing has thus become a case of an unclaimed person, which is managed per the protocols and regulations in place for such situations. Carlos C. Jara is identified in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under the Namus ID: UCP125503.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, operates under the Washington State statute RCW 68.50.160 in these circumstances. According to this statute, when no next of kin has been located, the county authority is responsible for making the final arrangements for deceased persons. In line with these regulations, the Medical Examiner's Office has authorized the cremation of Carlos Jara's remains, which will be carried out by their contracted funeral home. Upon completion of the cremation process, his cremains will be stored safely at the Medical Examiner's Office until the subsequent community burial service is held.
Despite the current unclaimed status of Carlos C. Jara's remains, they can be claimed at any time by an individual who steps forward. The storage at the Medical Examiner's Office ensures that his cremains remain accessible while waiting for any potential claimant. The agency invites anyone seeking information or wishing to claim the cremains of Carlos Jara to contact them at 253-798-6494 for further assistance. Through such communication, the agency remains hopeful that they can provide closure to any family or friends who may still come to light and partake in his final arrangements.
