The family of a man who lay dead in a Dublin morgue for five days before anyone was notified say it's “unbelievable” nobody contacted them.
The family of a man who lay dead in a Dublin morgue for five days before anyone was notified have said it is “unbelievable” nobody tried to contact them.
“He was actually in in the morgue that length of time without us knowing that he was there,” she said.Fiona said the body was not released to the family for another three weeks after they were informed – as DNA was needed to identify Jamie’s remains.“The sample actually lay in the Garda station until there was a further process and then, actually, we didn't get him home until the 15th of September.
“He was really independent and he was just really fun loving, quirky, witty and just a really, really good guy.”In a statement, the Department of Justice said “every effort” is made to contact families in what “can be complex circumstances”.
