In an unfortunate and enigmatic case, the unclaimed remains of Joyce Ann Leggett, a 73-year-old female, were discovered in Memphis, Tennessee. Joyce was found unresponsive in a residential care home located in the New Chicago neighborhood of north Memphis. Despite the efforts to resuscitate her, she was pronounced dead on February 18, 2018, at Methodist University ER.
Significant challenges have arisen in identifying any next of kin or emergency contact for Joyce Ann Leggett. The care home records, hospital documentation, and various other records have not provided any information regarding her relatives or a designated contact person. This lack of information has left Joyce's case unresolved, and no family member has come forward to claim her remains.
Adding to the complexity, Joyce's spouse, Bernice Leggett, passed away on December 3, 2009, in McNairy County, Tennessee. With her spouse deceased and no documented next of kin, Joyce Ann Leggett remains unclaimed. The Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office, associated with the case number 2018-0321, continues to seek any information that could lead to identifying someone who might come forward to claim her remains. Despite these efforts, Joyce's final arrangements and any possible reunification with relatives remain uncertain.
