Denver Veterans’ Hospital Switches Bodies for Cremation

Veteran mix upThe Sandoval family was horrified when they learned their loved one’s body was missing. The family sent his remains to the mortuary, but another man’s remains were sent back to them for cremation. In fact, his remains were misplaced for five days, leaving his family with unanswered questions. Eventually, the family learned that the remains were mixed up after the hospital alerted the mortuary. The family has been in touch with an attorney who is helping them file a claim.
