Dominick Wade Sullens, identified under NamUs ID UCP152845, was found deceased on January 13, 2022, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Although his body was discovered in Berks County, Mr. Sullens was known to reside in York, Pennsylvania. His death initiated an unclaimed person investigation, as no next of kin had come forward to assume responsibility for his arrangements. The circumstances surrounding how he came to be in Reading at the time of his passing remain unclear, adding another layer of difficulty to the effort to locate family or close contacts.
The case is being handled by the Berks County Coroner’s Office, located at 1047 MacArthur Road, Suite 200, in Reading, Pennsylvania. As the designated agency overseeing the investigation, they continue to seek information that may help identify relatives or individuals familiar with Mr. Sullens. The office can be reached at 610‑478‑3280 and maintains public resources through its website at https://www.berkspa.gov/departments/coroner. The internal case number assigned to this investigation is 22‑0221.
Despite the confirmation of his identity, Mr. Sullens remains unclaimed, leaving the coroner’s office responsible for managing his case while attempting to locate anyone connected to him. His situation reflects the challenges often encountered in unclaimed person investigations, where geographic distance, limited documentation, or disconnected social ties can complicate efforts to notify family. The hope remains that sharing his information may help bridge those gaps and bring closure to those who knew him.
