The case of David Lee Davis, documented under Namus ID: UCP3190, presents a poignant narrative in the world of unclaimed persons. Residing in Tacoma, Washington, David's life came to a quiet end on December 29, 2011, when he was discovered deceased in his home. It was determined that he died of natural causes, marking his peaceful if solitary passing. Despite the efforts of authorities, locating any next-of-kin proved fruitless, leaving his identity unanchored in family or close relations.

Following his death, David Lee Davis's remains were handled by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, a detail reflected in their records under agency case number 11-1822. The staff at the Medical Examiner's Office, situated at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington, took responsibility for his afterlife affairs. With no relatives stepping forward to claim his cremated remains, they were kept for over a year in accordance with standard procedure.

Ultimately, and in the absence of any familial presence, the staff of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office conducted a dignified ceremony on August 30, 2017. David's ashes were scattered at sea, a final gesture that assured he did not exit completely unheralded into the vast silence of the unclaimed. This act of scattering his remains at sea was not just a fulfillment of duty but a ceremonial acknowledgment of a life once lived, marked and documented, yet fleeting and untethered. For any inquiries, the office can be reached at 2537986494, serving as the sole institutional testament to David's passage from this world.
