On November 19, 2019, a female body was discovered in University Place, Washington. The individual was later identified as Kathleen Bunch, a 77-year-old resident of a local long-term care facility. Kathleen's death was determined to be due to natural causes. Despite being a resident at the facility for over a year, Kathleen had not received any visits from family during her stay.
Efforts to locate Kathleen's next of kin proved to be challenging. Extensive searches conducted by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office identified only one potential relative, who was unfortunately found to be deceased. This left Kathleen with no clear family or connections to arrange her final affairs.
The case was handled by the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office, located at 3619 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington. For further inquiries or details regarding Kathleen Bunch's case, interested parties can contact the office directly at 253-798-6494. The agency was assigned case number 19-2236 in relation to Kathleen Bunch's unfortunate passing under Namus ID UCP64111. Despite the efforts of the authorities, Kathleen Bunch remained unclaimed, a poignant reminder of the importance of community and connection.
