Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher is searching for families of deceased persons who have personal effects/property at the Coroner’s Office that has not been claimed/returned.
In a letter from Fisher she says: The return of personal items of a deceased person can be very poignant and upsetting for families, but their return can also preserve memories and hold strong emotional meanings; therefore, personal effects hold huge emotional value to a loved one left behind.”
Fisher also says: “we wish to locate family members who lost a loved one and, for unknown reasons, the personal effects/property was not returned to them promptly. I am providing a list of deceased persons, to include their name, date of birth, and date of death, for whom the Lexington County Coroner’s Office has personal effects/property that needs to be returned to their family/loved ones. ”
If you are the legal next-of-kin for the deceased person or have any information that may help the coroner’s office locate the next-of-kin, please call or visit the office between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Property may not be picked up during any other time due to the schedule of the Evidence Custodian.
The Lexington County Coroner’s office is at 117 Duffie Dr. Lexington. Office phone Number is: 803-359-8439
