Family stunned to discover wrong body in mother?s coffin

A grieving husband has been left unable to say goodbye to his wife of 60 years after finding the wrong body in her coffin following a series of funeral home blunders.

Margaret Porkka died unexpectedly on holiday in the Caribbean and her body had been prepared by a funeral director on the island of St Maarten.

However, when the coffin returned to her family in New Jersey, Ms Porkka?s body had been replaced by that of a Canadian woman who had died on the island around the same time in November.

?I looked up, and I was like, ?Good God, are you kidding me?? I was stunned,? said her daughter, Lisa Kondvar.

She fears that her mother?s body was mistakenly taken to Ottawa and may have been cremated, despite paying $7,000 (?4,250) to repatriate her body to the US.

Orlando Vanterpool, the funeral director looking after the two bodies in St Maarten, said: ?To my knowledge, we sent the correct human remains.

?Everything was regulated with the government. All the paperwork was in order, but apparently somewhere, somehow, something happened.?

To add anger to her grieving family, the cause of death for Ms Porkka has not yet been provided by authorities in St Maarten and her death certificate lists her as a man.

An investigative committee has now been set up by St Maarten prime minister Sarah Wescot-Williams and DNA tests are being carried out to determine if Ms Porkka has been cremated.

Meat From Diseased Animals Approved For Consumers

WASHINGTON - The federal agency overseeing food inspection is imposing new rules reclassifying as safe for human consumption animal carcasses with cancers, tumors and open sores.

Federal meat inspectors and consumer groups are protesting the move to classify tumors and open sores as aesthetic problems, which permits the meat to get the government's purple seal of approval as a wholesome food product.

"I don't want to eat pus from a chicken that has pneumonia. I think it's gross," said Wenonah Hauter, director of Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project. "Most Americans don't want to eat this sort of contamination in their meals."

Delmer Jones, a federal food inspector for 41 years who lives in Renlap, Ala., said he's so revolted by the lowering of food wholesomeness standards that he doesn't buy meat at the supermarket anymore because he doesn't trust that it is safe to eat.

"I eat very little to no meat, but sardines and fish," said Jones, president of the National Joint Council of Meat Inspection Locals, a union of 7,000 meat inspectors nationwide affiliated with the American Federation of Government Employees. He said he's trying to get his wife to stop eating meat. "I've told her what she's eating."

The union is battling related Agriculture Department plans to rely on scientific testing of samples of butchered meats to determine the wholesomeness of meat, rather than traditional item-by-item scrutiny by federal inspectors. A 1959 federal law requires inspectors from the Agriculture Department's Food Inspection and Safety System to inspect all slaughtered animals before they can be sold for human consumption.

The Agriculture Department began implementing the new policy as part of a pilot project in 24 slaughter houses last October, and plans to expand the system nationwide covering poultry, beef and pork. The agency this month extended until Aug. 29 the time for the public to comment on the regulations, and won't issue final rules until after the comments are received.

In 1998, the inspections and safety system reclassified an array of animal diseases as being "defects that rarely or never present a direct public health risk" and said "unaffected carcass portions" could be passed on to consumers by cutting out lesions.

Among animal diseases the agency said don't present a health danger are:

- Cancer;

- A pneumonia of poultry called airsacculitis;

- Glandular swellings or lymphomas;

- Sores;

- Infectious arthritis;

- Diseases caused by intestinal worms.

In the case of tumors, the guidelines state: "remove localized lesion(s) and pass unaffected carcass portions."

"They just cut off the areas,'' said Carol Blake, spokeswoman for the Agriculture Department's inspection and safety system.

But Jones and consumer groups say production lines are moving so fast that they can't catch all the diseased carcasses, and some are ending up on supermarket shelves.

"When I started inspecting, inspectors were looking at 13 birds a minute, then 40, and now it's 91 birds a minute with three inspectors. You cannot do your job with 91 birds a minute," Jones said.

The Agriculture Department is also experimenting with proposed rules that would require federal food inspectors to monitor what the plant employees are doing, rather than inspecting each carcass individually. They are aimed at bringing a new scientific approach to federal meat inspection to cut down on E. coli bacteria and other contamination.

The inspection and safety agency says a survey of pilot plants using the new system concluded that less than 1 percent of the poultry examined at the end of the production line and released for public consumption was unwholesome.

At a public hearing on the findings this year, Karen Henderson of Agriculture's division of field operations admitted that defective carcasses are being approved for human use under the pilot program.

"Absolutely. There's no system that we are aware of that is capable of removing every defect from the process," she said.

Felicia Nestor, director of the Government Accountability Project, a Washington watchdog group, said the pilot project found chickens with higher levels of fecal and other contamination than in traditional methods of inspecting.

"A lot of diseased animals are going out," she said.

A. Raymond Randolph, a federal appeals court judge, this month said federal food safety laws require meat and poultry inspectors to examine every carcass that moves through slaughterhouses and processing plants.

"The laws clearly contemplate that when inspections are done, it will be federal inspectors, rather than private employees, who will make the critical determination whether a product is adulterated or unadulterated," he said. "Under the proposed plan, federal inspectors would be inspecting people, not carcasses."

Woman cancels brother's wedding without his knowledge because she did not like bride-to-be

A woman cancelled her brother's wedding without his knowledge because she didn't like his bride-to-be.
Ann Duffy impersonated her now sister-in-law in a telephone call to Plymouth Registry Office and told them she wanted to cancel the wedding, a court heard.
The 50 year old made the call on November 5th last year ? just 20 days before the wedding ceremony.
Plymouth Magistrates' Court heard that on the same day she cancelled the wedding she rang her brother to tell him.She told him:"You had better put this on speakerphone, I have saved you on the divorce.
"I have cancelled your wedding. Would you like me to send you the confirmation email?"
The prosecution said her brother's fianc?e called the police to say that Duffy had impersonated her and called off her wedding.
Prosecutor Will Walden said there was some tension between the two women over the care of Duffy's mother.
Duffy, from Plymouth, Devon, admitted harassment and will be sentenced next month after a pre sentence report is prepared.
Mr Walden said:"One offence doesn't really constitute a charge of harassment. There were other incidents that had been reported to the police which is why the charge was brought."
In police interview Duffy said she was trying to protect her brother from a marriage to someone she disliked and who she believed was taking her mother away after she moved in with the newly-weds.
Duffy said she only wanted to cause her sister-in-law distress but not her brother.
Roger Page, defending, said:"What we have here is somebody that has pleaded guilty to harassment without violence. The defendant still takes the view that her brother is not suited to his wife.
"In desperation to avoid her brother from making what she regarded as a disastrous move she cancelled the wedding."
He said because she called the pair and told them what she had done, they were able to rebook their wedding the next day.

I don't know how to post good death threads, so I'm just putting it here...

This story is really weird. This woman supposedly got lost after getting thrown off her routine because of a local industrial fire that happened the other day (pretty close to me). Her car was found in Detroit, and they found her an hour away from the car, frozen on the porch of a fire station.




http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/q...7/-/index.html

LIVONIA, Mich. -
The family and friends of 88-year-old Lorraine Mckaig of Livonia knew she had regular routines.

The customers at the Daly's restaurant on Plymouth Road at Merriman Road knew she came for lunch every day, sitting in the same booth and placing the same order.

Linda Bohlen was one of the customers who knew McKaig well.

"We called her grandma. She will be missed dearly. We love her," Bohlen said.

On Wednesday, McKaig did not make it to the restaurant. A massive industrial fire forced the closure of Merriman Road. Livonia police issued McKaig a ticket because she tried to get around a traffic barrier. An officer explained alternate routes to her, but something unexpected happened.

After hours passed, her family reported McKaig missing. Her car was found crashed into a fence near Detroit City Airport on Detroit's east side. She was not with the car, but found an hour later, lying on the ground near a fire station. The 88-year-old woman was almost frozen. She died a short time later at a hospital.

Bohlen is one of many people who can't understand what happened.

"She just ended up someplace where she never went on her own, and I feel bad that this happened to her," Bohlen said.

Detroit police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding McKaig's death.

Well, that's bummed me out for the night.

[animosity]

so sad. that is something i'd worry about with my grandma. we totally trust her driving her routines but when she is in an unknown area, her driving gets much worse (mine too though...). she's with it, but if she crashed, she might be a goner.

[swampwater]

That's what makes it even sadder. She was perfectly capable of looking after herself, and while it may seem mundane, still live her life and get out of the house. It's funny how the smallest wrench thrown in to the machine can change everything. I must admit, even living in the same city most my life, I still get lost. I really feel for the poor woman.
