The family of an Alabama inmate who died in prison was forced to have a closed-casket funeral after the body was returned "severely decomposed' and missing its heart, according to a federal lawsuit.
Brandon Dotson's family spent five days attempting to get his body released from the Alabama Department of Corrections, but when the remains were finally turned over to the family, they noted there was "bruising on back of [his] neck and excessive swelling across his head," according to Fox News, which cited the lawsuit.
