Coroner’s Office Seeks Relatives
August 14, 2024 – Fresno County Sheriff's Office officials report that the Coroner’s Office needs the public’s help 
locating relatives of 49-year-old Ivon Rocher Garces of Fresno.
On July 4th, around 5:00 a.m., a person reported hearing screams coming from an orchard near the intersection of North and Peach Avenues in Fresno. There they made contact with an injured homeless person, later identified as Ivon Garces, who said he had just been attacked by a Huskey type of dog. Deputies and EMS personnel responded and got Garces transported to the hospital. Due to a significant loss of blood, Garces eventually died.
Staff at the Coroner’s Office have searched numerous personal records, but their attempts to find relatives have been unsuccessful. Locating immediate family members is a necessary process in order for the Coroner’s Unit to release the body and allow the person to have a proper burial.
Anyone with information about Ivon Garces is asked to please contact the Coroner’s Unit at (559) 600-3400 or email coroner@fresnosheriff.org.
