Title: Cremated son later found alive
Post by: Tuffty on November 02, 2007, 03:42:43 PM

A 58-year-old mother believed she had cremated her missing son - only for him to turn up alive and well a day later.

Gina Partington, from Urmston in Greater Manchester, had mistakenly identified a dead man as her son and went to his cremation on Tuesday.

Police called the next day to say they had found her 39-year-old son, Thomas Dennison, in Nottingham. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7075094.stm)

Well, that's embarassing. XD It's good the son is alive and all, but he must be like a clone of this now cremated man. Otherwise how could the mother mistake them? :o

I just don't get how people can make mistakes like that.

Well, if the "son" was a victim of a horrible accident, or was burnt almost beyond recognition, I can understand why some people would have difficulty identifying the bodies of people they know.
