Doris Thompson, identified posthumously with the Namus ID: UCP2477, was a female individual whose body was discovered on November 23, 2014, in Lakewood, Washington. Her demise occurred at Ivey Manor Adult Family Home, attributed to natural causes. Despite thorough efforts, no family members were detected in a next of kin search conducted by the responsible authorities. Consequently, Doris Thompson fell under the jurisdiction of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
Following standard procedures for such cases, the decedent's remains were conveyed to a rotation funeral home. After undergoing the appropriate processes, the cremated remains were returned to the custody of the Medical Examiner's Office. Without a claimant to provide a final resting place, her ashes were retained for a period under the care of the office. Eventually, in keeping with a dignified means of honoring unclaimed individuals, her ashes were scattered at sea on August 17, 2016.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington, managed the case professionally and with due regard for the dignity of the decedent. Despite the challenge of locating her family, the office ensured that Doris Thompson was remembered and honored posthumously with an appropriate scattering service. For further information, inquiries can be directed to their contact number at 253-798-6494, referencing the agency case number 14-1764.
