BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ( WIAT ) — The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office is requesting the assistance of the public in locating family members of people who recently died.

All efforts to locate the following individual’s families have failed. Anyone with information is asked to contact the coroner’s office at 205-930-3603.

Darrell Talton

On June 19, Darrell Talton, 48, of Birmingham, died of natural causes while an inpatient at UAB Hospital. There is very little known about his family.

James Arrington

On June 17, James Arrington, 56, of Jemison, was found in medical distress outside of the Fire House Shelter in Birmingham. He was transported to UAB Hospital, where he died from his injuries on June 26. There was no evidence of trauma or foul play.

In 2020, Arrington listed an address in Jemison, but has past ties to Prattville, Collins, Miss., and Hattiesburg, Miss. Ancestry searches suggest that he and his family are from Mississippi.
