| RI Woman Finds Wrong Body In Mother's Casket |
| 2014-01-11 |
| [HOSTED.AP.ORG] A Rhode Island woman wants answers after discovering the wrong body in a casket that should have contained her mother, who died unexpectedly in St. Maarten. Lisa Kondvar, of Warwick, and her family discovered another woman's body in the casket at a New Jersey funeral home last month. The body of her mother, Margaret Porkka, had been prepared at a funeral home in St. Maarten. "I looked up and I was like, `Good God, are you kidding me?' I was stunned," Kondvar told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named in a telephone interview Friday. The family proceeded with the wake, with the casket closed, because they discovered the mistake just before calling hours were about to begin. The family believes a hospital or funeral home confused Porkka's body with that of a Canadian woman who died on the island around the same time. They also think Porkka's body was cremated in Ottawa. |
