On July 9, 2019, the body of a 72-year-old man named William C. Anderson was discovered in Tacoma, Washington. His death was attributed to natural causes, and he was pronounced dead at Tacoma General Hospital. The case was subsequently handled by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, which was tasked with investigating his background and identifying any potential family members who might be notified of his passing.
Despite conducting an extensive search, the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office was unable to locate or contact any relatives of William C. Anderson. The absence of identifiable family members meant that the office had to proceed with alternative arrangements for handling the decedent's remains. As is customary in such cases, William C.

Following the cremation, his cremains were returned to the custody of the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
