Edward Charles Henderson, a 67-year-old male, was discovered deceased on November 7, 2017, in Graham, Washington. Upon investigation by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, it was determined that Mr. Henderson had died of natural causes while under care at Good Samaritan Hospital. Unfortunately, Edward Charles Henderson did not have any known family, which necessitated efforts to uncover any possible relatives.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office (PCMEO) undertook an exhaustive search to locate family members or next of kin for Edward Charles Henderson. Despite their extensive efforts, which aligned with standard procedures in such cases, no family members could be identified or contacted. Faced with this situation, the PCMEO was left with no choice but to proceed with the necessary posthumous arrangements given the absence of kin to claim the body.
Edward's remains were entrusted to a rotation funeral home, a routine practice for unclaimed individuals, where he was subsequently cremated. His cremains were then returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office for final safekeeping, reflecting the completion of the necessary and respectful procedures in the wake of a person leaving this life unaccompanied by family. The agency overseeing this matter, identified by Namus ID: UCP5323 and case number 17-1601, is located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington. They can be contacted at 253-798-6494 for further inquiries related to the case.
