On October 11, 2015, the body of Edward Reidel, a male individual, was found in Puyallup, Washington, and subsequently brought to Tacoma General Hospital. Edward Reidel's case was registered with the Namus ID: UCP2512. Following a thorough investigation, it was determined that Reidel had died of natural causes. The case was then handled by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington.
In an unfortunate turn of events, Edward Reidel's family declined to claim his remains. They cited financial constraints and a lack of interest as the reasons for their decision. Given the family's position, Reidel's remains were entrusted to a rotation funeral home before being returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office. With no claims made, the cremated remains of Edward Reidel remained unclaimed for over a year.
In accordance with the policies of the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, after the passage of the designated period, the unclaimed cremains were respectfully scattered at sea. This solemn ceremony took place on August 30, 2017, with the staff of the PCMEO ensuring that Edward Reidel received a dignified final resting arrangement, despite the absence of family intervention. The agency remains available for contact for any inquiries regarding this case at 253-798-6494, under the case number 15-1644.
