Morgue gives wrong body to family

BEIJING - A hospital in China has apologised after a mix-up in the morgue saw two grieving families given the wrong bodies. The error was discovered when one of the families who thought they had been handed the body of their 21-year-old male relative instead found the corpse of an 80-year-old woman. The old woman’s family had come to claim her body two weeks earlier but were apparently unaware the body they had buried belonged to a young man. The dead man’s uncle, Cheng Yahong, told local media the morgue in Hebei province charged 9,600 RMB (£1,100) to hold the corpse until the funeral was ready to be held.(FA)
