"Cremated son" turns up alive

DoubleTalkingJive

LONDON (Reuters) - A mother cremated a body she thought was that of her dead son, only for him to turn up alive later, police said on Friday.

Gina Partington's 37-year-old son Thomas Dennison was reported missing last month and a body was found in Rusholme, Manchester, three days later.

The 58-year-old mother, from Urmston, Greater Manchester, formally identified the body as that of her son and, following an inquest, the body was cremated on October 30.

But police had actually found Dennison, living rough in Nottingham, four days earlier.

The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission to discover why Partington was not told of her son's discovery in the days before she attended the cremation.

Inquiries are continuing to formally establish the identity of the body, but Greater Manchester police said they believe they know who he is.

Next of kin have been informed.

Police said in a statement: "This set of circumstances is clearly distressing and urgent inquiries are ongoing to establish how this happened."

Can you imagine? Thank god they "believe" they know who the person is she cremated. She made a big mistake didn't she thinking that was her son. What do you say ....Ooops. I guess they didn't do any further investigation to make sure it was indeed him.

Is she blind? Does she just identify anonymous bodies as people she knows? What a dipshit.

She better not sue. She is at fault.
