On August 15, 2017, the body of Jay William Keaton was discovered in Boise, Idaho. The discovery was made by a neighbor, and there was no indication of foul play in Keaton's death. The cause of death was listed as probable myocardial ischemia and/or dysrhythmia, resulting from arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This case has been logged under the NamUs ID UCP4568.
Jay William Keaton's situation is complicated by the fact that his only known next of kin is his son, Justin. Unfortunately, Justin is currently incarcerated, which has delayed the claiming process for Keaton's cremains. A phone message was left with Keaton's ex-wife, notifying her that Justin could claim the cremains once he is released from incarceration. The coroner's office has provided a contact number for further inquiries and left a personal phone number.
The Ada County Coroner's Office is overseeing the case, identified by the case number 170815-251PA. While the coroner's office has alluded to following standard procedures, there is limited information regarding the agency's address, contact number, and website. The body remains unclaimed as efforts continue to involve the decedent's family in finalizing the arrangements.
