On September 11, 2017, the body of Kenneth Neil Smith, a 62-year-old male, was discovered unresponsive at a nursing home in Memphis, Tennessee, before being transported to the emergency room where he was pronounced dead. This unfortunate event marked the conclusion of a series of challenging circumstances for Mr. Smith following a motor vehicle accident (MVA) on July 17, 2017, which left him with injuries requiring ongoing care. He was discharged to Mid-South Health and Rehabilitation on September 8, 2017, where he ultimately passed away just three days later.
Despite efforts to locate family members, Kenneth Neil Smith remains an unclaimed person. A family friend provided information indicating that Smith's mother, who lived in Eads, Tennessee, is deceased. However, no further family connections have been identified or come forward to claim his remains. As a result, Mr. Smith's body is being held at the West Tennessee Regional Forensic Center.
The case, identified with the NamUs ID UCP4564 and the agency case number 2017-1453, is under the purview of the Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office. Despite making the necessary arrangements for holding and identifying unclaimed bodies, further assistance or information regarding Kenneth Neil Smith could help in resolving his case. Those with any information that might assist can contact the Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office in Memphis, though the contact details are not provided in the available information.
