Lexington, SC (WLTX) - Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher is hoping that the public can help get some personal effects back to their families.
According to Fisher, "The return of personal items of a deceased individual, although difficult and upsetting for families, may help preserve memories and hold strong emotional meanings. We are aware of the huge emotional or sentimental value that personal effects may hold regardless of the item’s size, appearance or monetary value."
Here is a list of deceased individuals, including their dates of birth and dates of death, that the Lexington Coroner has personal effects/property that they would like to return to families.
