Unidentified Persons
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office makes every effort to identify each deceased individual received by the office using a variety of scientific methods and available databases, in order to provide answers for legal next-of-kin as quickly as possible. For those decedents who are unable to be identified, TCME creates and makes available to the public Unidentified Decedent Fliers (UDF) that may contain identification pictures of the deceased, tattoos and personal items found on or near the deceased individual. The decedents are unidentified with no known relatives, and were found in or around The Tarrant County District, which includes Denton, Johnson, Lubbock, Parker, and Tarrant counties.
