Rick Lynn Morrison, a homeless man, was discovered deceased on April 14, 2015, in a wooded area in Washington. His remains were found without any signs of foul play, and it was determined that he had died of natural causes. Despite the authorities reaching out to his family, they declined to claim his body, leaving him an unclaimed individual.
Following the standard protocol for unclaimed bodies, Rick Lynn Morrison was sent to a rotation funeral home. After his cremation, his ashes were returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office. The office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, managed the case under the identification number 15-0670.
On August 17, 2016, over a year after his death, Rick's unclaimed ashes were respectfully scattered at sea. This act of scattering represented a dignified conclusion to the handling of his remains. Throughout this process, the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, reachable at 253-798-6494, handled all arrangements with care and respect.
