N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
The North Carolina Medical Examiner System and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are engaged with
North Carolina Emergency Management to provide identification and care of persons who perished from
Hurricane Helene. We are also working diligently on all other medical examiner cases that arise during
this time.
If you are seeking the location of a person missing as a result of Hurricane Helene, we cannot
provide you any information.
We cannot accept any information about missing persons or who you are looking for. The following
options may help:
Telephone
Call NC211 (1-888-892-1162). To report a missing person or request a welfare check, press 1 once you
are connected to reach an operator.
Internet
Visit www.nc211.org to submit a request for a person to be
included in the search and rescue efforts coordinated by United Way – North Carolina.
If we make identification of a person who has died, notifications will be made to next-of-kin by
local law enforcement or other official, not by this office.
The North Carolina Medical Examiner System is a network of medical doctors and allied health professionals
throughout North Carolina who voluntarily devote their time, energy, and medical expertise
to see that deaths of a suspicious, unusual or unnatural nature are adequately investigated. The OCME
investigates all deaths in North Carolina due to injury or violence, as well as natural deaths that are
suspicious, unusual, or unattended by a medical professional.
This resource is maintained by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of the state of North Carolina.
The OCME is a section of the Division of Public
Health.
