Paul Edward Travis, a 47-year-old male with a significant medical history, was found deceased in Lakewood, Washington, on February 27, 2019. His case is indexed under the NamUs ID UCP57293. Prior to his death, Paul was admitted to St Clare Hospital on January 8, 2019, where he received extensive medical care. During his stay, his health condition necessitated a transition to hospice care, where he remained until he passed away.
Throughout his time in medical care, attempts were made by the hospital to locate any next of kin, but unfortunately, these efforts proved unsuccessful. Various searches were conducted in an attempt to find family members or close contacts who could be informed about his situation and possibly claim his remains, but these attempts did not yield any successful results. Consequently, his case became one of an unclaimed person due to the absence of identifiable family members or friends to take responsibility for him.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, took charge of the investigation regarding Paul’s death, designated under the agency case number 19-0467. Anyone with information that could assist in closing this unclaimed person case or that could identify potential next of kin is encouraged to contact the Medical Examiner's Office at 253-798-6494. The office remains open to receiving any leads that might connect Mr. Travis to his family or provide a resolution to his unclaimed status.
