'My husband's body was treated like a bag of rubbish after he died on our living room floor'

A loving wife who saw her husband die in front of her claimed his body was "treated like a bag of rubbish" ahead of his funeral.

Deanna Carberry Hamilton, 65, told the ECHO her husband, Kenneth Hamilton, died of a heart condition on December 27 last year when the pair were at home together. She said Mr Hamilton, 59, had been to the doctor just weeks before his death but unexpectedly collapsed after telling her "I'm scared".

Mrs Carberry Hamilton said his body was taken to the City Mortuary, operated by Liverpool City Council, following his death. The nan claimed she was not allowed to see his body while it was in the morgue - and his post-mortem was delayed due to the timing of his death falling between Christmas and New Year.
