Thomas W. Benner, Jr., identified under NamUs ID UCP152838, was found deceased on November 6, 2022, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Despite confirmation of his identity, he remains an unclaimed person, meaning no next of kin has come forward to take custody of his remains. His case reflects the quiet, often unseen circumstances in which individuals pass away without immediate family contact or available representatives to manage final arrangements.
The Berks County Coroner’s Office is the investigating and custodial agency for this case. Located at 1047 MacArthur Road, Suite 200, in Reading, Pennsylvania, the office documented the circumstances of Mr. Benner’s death under Agency Case Number 22‑3319. As with all unclaimed person cases, the coroner’s office is responsible for attempting to locate relatives, verifying identity, and maintaining records while the case remains unresolved.
Mr. Benner’s death on November 6, 2022, marks the central point of this ongoing effort. Although the details surrounding his passing have been formally recorded, the absence of family contact leaves the case open. The Berks County Coroner’s Office continues to serve as the primary point of information for anyone who may have known Mr. Benner or who may be able to assist in resolving his unclaimed status.
