Gregory Wohlmacher was discovered deceased on February 1, 2015, at his residence in Tacoma, Washington. An investigation by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office concluded that he had died of natural causes. Following Mr. Wohlmacher’s death, efforts to notify his next of kin were undertaken. He was known to have a son, who was promptly informed of his father's passing. Despite multiple attempts by the medical examiner's office to reach the son, they were unable to make further contact with him for proceedings related to the deceased.
In parallel, an extended search for additional next of kin was launched but unfortunately did not yield any results. With no family member available to claim Mr. Wohlmacher’s remains, he was entrusted to a rotation funeral home. Subsequently, his cremains were returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
The unclaimed ashes of Gregory Wohlmacher remained in the custody of the medical examiner’s office until August 17, 2016. On that date, they were respectfully scattered at sea during a dedicated scattering service. This final act ensured that Mr. Wohlmacher was laid to rest, honoring his life through the solemn grace of the sea. The case, identified by Namus ID UCP2484 and agency case number 15-203, remains an example of the challenges faced by authorities in connecting with families of the deceased. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, handled the proceedings. They continue to be reachable at 253-798-6494 for any further inquiries regarding this case.
