Unclaimed Human Remains
Lost, Unidentified, Unclaimed
 St. Louis County has a number of unclaimed and claimed human remains. Usually these people have lost contact with their families prior to death, have no family or friends, or died unidentified. Each state and county has different procedures they must follow in these cases. The St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office posts the names in hopes that the legal next of kin can be located.
