On December 29, 2023, the body of 74-year-old Helen Marie Cadwell was discovered in Tacoma, Washington. Her death was due to natural causes and occurred at Tacoma General Hospital. Despite the circumstances suggesting a peaceful passing, her case has been marked by a somber development as efforts to locate her family or friends have proven futile. Helen's case is currently being managed by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office under the Namus ID UCP126554.
The Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, has taken responsibility for Helen's body. Despite exhaustive attempts, they have been unable to find anyone to step forward and claim the remains of Helen Marie Cadwell. This raises poignant questions about her connections and support network at the time of her death. In accordance with protocol, the Medical Examiner's Office has arranged for her remains to be cremated. However, these cremains remain unclaimed, although they can be claimed by any individual at any time.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office continues to hope that someone, perhaps a distant acquaintance, neighbor, or a member of the extended community, might recognize Helen's story and come forward to provide her with the final dignity of a claimed resting place. The Office remains open to inquiries and can be contacted at 253-798-6494 for any pertinent information that might assist in bringing resolution to Helen's case. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community connections and the shared human responsibility of looking out for one another, particularly in one's later years.
