Mr. Lygren passed away due to natural causes, a conclusion reached following a thorough examination by medical professionals. Despite efforts to reach out to any known family members or friends of Mr. Lygren, the medical examiner's office has been unsuccessful in locating anyone who can claim his remains.
The situation of Mr. Lygren remains unresolved as the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, continues their search for next of kin or acquaintances who might be able to claim the cremains.

The care facility's report and subsequent investigations have yet to unearth any connections or claimants, leaving the case as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by medical examiners in cases involving unclaimed persons. As of now, the cremains of Harvey Peder Lygren are available for claiming by any individual at any time, urging anyone with potential ties to come forward to provide Mr. Lygren with a final, dignified resting place.
