On March 12, 2015, the body of Marty K. Ross, a male, was discovered in Tacoma, Washington, and subsequently handled by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office. Marty K. Ross was identified with the NamUs ID: UCP2488. His death occurred due to natural causes while he was at Tacoma General Hospital. The circumstances surrounding his passing were carefully documented by local medical authorities.
Marty's case is marked by the absence of immediate family or acquaintances capable of claiming his body. The only known relative, a brother, was a ward of the state and did not have the financial means to manage Marty's final arrangements. As a result, the responsibility of taking care of Marty's remains fell to the state's established procedures for such cases. After passing through a rotation funeral home, his cremains were returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
The unclaimed ashes of Marty K. Ross found rest at sea, as they were scattered during a solemn scattering service held on August 17, 2016. The service marked the final chapter in the handling of Marty's remains, providing a respectful conclusion to his life. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office managed the process with diligence and professionalism, ensuring Marty's unclaimed state did not equate to being forgotten. For further details, inquiries can be directed to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington, or via their contact number at 253-798-6494.
