On May 23, 2019, the body of a 74-year-old male, identified as Stanislav Stefan, was discovered at Manor Care of Gig Harbor, a skilled nursing facility in Gig Harbor, Washington. The nursing staff found him lifeless in the bathroom during their routine rounds. Despite his significant medical history, which was managed at the facility, Stanislav's sudden passing prompted a thorough review by the authorities.
Stanislav was residing at the facility to receive care for his ongoing health issues. The staff had regularly monitored his condition, ensuring he received the necessary attention and support. However, on that day, they stumbled upon the tragic scene, marking the beginning of a challenging and tragic case for the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
Despite efforts to locate next of kin (NOK) who might take responsibility for Stanislav, the only relative they managed to contact declined to claim him. Consequently, his estate remained unclaimed. The case is officially recorded under the NamUs ID UCP58650, and the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. They can be reached at 253-798-6494 for further inquiries, though the case under number 19-1058 remains open due to a lack of personal claims to his body or estate.
