On September 28, 2018, in Spanaway, Washington, a 66-year-old male named Thomas Leon Neil was discovered deceased at the Family Garden Adult Family Home. His passing was attributed to natural causes. Despite the efforts made by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office (PCMEO) to identify and contact any next of kin for Neil, the search proved fruitless. As a result, Thomas Leon Neil became part of an unclaimed persons case under Namus ID: UCP56422.
Following an exhaustive but unsuccessful search to locate any family members, the PCMEO proceeded according to protocol by transferring the remains of Thomas Leon Neil to a rotation funeral home. Here, he was cremated with care and dignity. The cremated remains, or cremains, were then returned to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, where they remain in their custody, awaiting any potential claim or further instructions.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, was diligent in its efforts to ensure that Thomas Leon Neil was treated with respect throughout the process. They remain the primary point of contact for this case, with inquiries directed to their office via phone at 253-798-6494. Despite the challenges faced in connecting him to any living relatives, the office continues to hold on to the hope that Neil's story might reach someone who remembers him and can provide a connection to his past. Agency Case Number: 18-1951.
