Relatives of Raphael Garcia are considering their legal options, after they realised that at the end of his funeral service yesterday, it was not his body in the casket but another deceased.
Speaking with Guardian Media yesterday, Keon Cunningham said the family only found out the wrong body was at the service in Curepe when the final viewing was being done.
“When we opened the casket to do the official viewing, it was not my grandfather. When we did our research, we saw that the person who was in the casket was a man who died on December 20th. It seems as though nobody ever claimed the body.”
