The unclaimed person case of Eberardo Lucas began on March 18, 2016, when his body was discovered in Lakewood, Washington. The investigation was managed by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, identified under Namus ID: UCP2515 and Agency Case Number: 16-0530. Eberardo Lucas passed away from natural causes at St. Joseph Medical Center. Despite an extensive search for next of kin, efforts to locate any living relatives were ultimately unsuccessful, leaving no family members to claim his remains.
Following the standard procedure, the decedent was initially sent to a rotation funeral home. Once cremated, Eberardo Lucas' remains were returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington. Despite efforts to locate someone to claim his remains, they remained unclaimed for over a year. The office, reachable at 253-798-6494, exhausted all resources in their attempts to find any relatives who might step forward.
Eventually, in accordance with policy, the unclaimed cremated remains of Eberardo Lucas were respectfully scattered at sea during a ceremony on August 30, 2017. This final act was carried out by staff members of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, ensuring that despite the absence of family, Eberardo Lucas was given a dignified and respectful final disposition.
