In Lakewood, Washington, on January 29, 2015, the body of John L. Coulter, a male, was discovered. Sadly, Mr. Coulter passed away from natural causes in his own residence. Despite exhaustive efforts by the authorities, no known family members could be identified or located to claim him. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office took the lead in managing his case.

The medical examiner's office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, undertook a search for the next of kin (NOK) without success. As procedures dictate, the decedent was sent to a rotation funeral home where cremation took place. Due to the absence of any family, his cremains were returned to the medical examiner's office.

Ultimately, the ashes of John L. Coulter were respectfully scattered at sea during a service held on August 17, 2016. This was arranged by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office to ensure a dignified resting place for Mr. Coulter, who remained unclaimed. The office, reachable at 253-798-6494, concluded their compassionate handling of his case with this final gesture.
