On December 19, 2016, the body of a 62-year-old woman, identified as Carol Mae Canter, was discovered in her residence in Puyallup, Washington. According to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, Ms. Canter died of natural causes. Despite a thorough investigation and diligent search conducted by the Medical Examiner's Office, no next of kin could be located for her. This case has been identified with the Namus ID UCP5271 and the agency case number 17-0067.
In instances such as these, where no family or friends can be identified to claim the decedent, standard procedures are followed to lay the person to rest with dignity. Ms. Canter's body was entrusted to a rotation funeral home for cremation. After the process was completed, her cremains were respectfully returned to the custody of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, Washington.
Regrettably, the absence of next of kin means that Ms. Canter did not have any family members to mourn or celebrate her life.
