On October 28, 2019, the body of Carole H. Norris, a 72-year-old female, was found at her residence in an adult family home in Tacoma, Washington. The circumstances surrounding her death reveal that she passed away due to natural causes. Despite the peaceful nature of her passing, Carole Norris's case turned into a distinct and solemn mystery, as no known next of kin could be identified.
Efforts were diligently made to locate any surviving family members or relatives of the decedent. All inquiries, however, resulted in no substantial leads in finding anyone who could claim or take responsibility for her remains. Consequently, and in line with the procedures of such cases, Carole Norris was entrusted to a rotation funeral home. Here, her body underwent cremation, a standard practice for unclaimed bodies when no family can be contacted.
Upon completion of the cremation process, Carole Norris's cremated remains, or cremains, were returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office (PCMEO). Located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, this agency was responsible for overseeing the case, assigned the Namus ID: UCP62292 and Agency Case Number: 19-2075. Although the dignity of her posthumous care was maintained, the absence of any relatives left a mark of melancholy over her case. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office retains custody of her cremains, preserving a critical link to Carole Norris's story, which remains open to this day for any future relatives who might come forward.
