Patricia Ann Johnson, a 70-year-old woman, was found deceased on December 28, 2018, in Tacoma, Washington. The case, cataloged under Namus ID: UCP57611, involves the identification and notification of next of kin (NOK) for the decedent, which has proven to be a challenge for the authorities involved.
Ms. Johnson had a significant medical history and resided at Heritage Rehab, a long-term care facility, up until her passing. On December 17, 2018, she was transported from the facility to St. Joseph Medical Center due to her declining health. Unfortunately, her condition continued to deteriorate, and she was pronounced dead by hospital staff on December 28, 2018.
On January 16, 2019, the St. Joseph Medical Center contacted the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, to report the case and inform them of their inability to locate any next of kin for Ms. Johnson. Despite multiple efforts, all attempts to find family or relatives were unsuccessful, leaving Patricia Ann Johnson's case as unclaimed. The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, which can be reached at 253-798-6494, remains involved in handling the case under their jurisdiction and continues to seek resolutions toward identification and next of kin notification.
