Eric Franklin Eggers, a 58-year-old male, was found deceased on February 1, 2019, in Lakewood, Washington. He had been residing in a transitional facility, sharing the space with a roommate. Eggers, who had a history of mental illness, was last seen by his roommate approximately 24 hours prior to his body being discovered. Concern arose when the roommate noticed that Eggers' room was locked and he had not been seen during that period. Taking cautious action, the roommate contacted the case manager, and together they peered through the window of Eggers' room, only to be met with the distressing sight of him lying unresponsive on the floor.
After the discovery, a 911 call was promptly made, leading to the arrival of emergency medical services. However, given the evident nature of the death, no resuscitative measures were undertaken. Despite the urgency and care, Eric Franklin Eggers’ death was pronounced at the scene. The task to identify and locate any family or next of kin ensued, yet all efforts proved futile. The absence of any known relatives or close contacts has left Eggers' case in a quandary, adding to the growing number of unclaimed persons in the region.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, was assigned the investigation under the case number 19-0237. Despite the unyielding attempts to find some trace of Eggers' family, his identity remains on record with the Namus ID: UCP57291, a solemn reminder of a life lived amidst the challenges of mental illness and potential isolation. For any information that may assist in connecting Eric Franklin Eggers with possible kin, or to provide closure to his case, individuals are encouraged to contact the Medical Examiner's Office at 2537986494.
