Randall Cox Nunes was a resident of Hearthstone, a nursing home located in Sparks, Nevada. On March 1, 2019, the day marked both his passing and the beginning of an unclaimed person case that remains unresolved. Randall's body was discovered under circumstances that have yet to connect him with family or friends who might ensure his proper remembrance and final rites.
The case was entrusted to the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office, situated at 990 East 9th Street in Reno, Nevada. Taking on the responsibility, the office cataloged Randall's case under the agency number 2019-00873 and assigned it a Namus ID of UCP56179. This agency plays a critical role in investigating such cases, aiming to provide clarity and resolution wherever possible.
Efforts to connect Randall with living relatives seem unfulfilled, as his case, like many others, highlights the ongoing challenge medical examiners face in unearthing identifiers for those who pass away unclaimed. The Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office, accessible via phone at 775-785-6114 and through their website, continues to seek information from the public. Their work not only involves the scientific evaluation of such cases but also maintains a humanistic goal of restoring identity and dignity to individuals like Randall Cox Nunes until closure is reached.
