A Seattle couple whose 9-month-old son died unexpectedly during a family trip to Oregon claims hospital staff instructed them to drive their child’s corpse back home in their own car, either strapped into a baby seat or laid flat in the back for the four-hour trip, because having the remains transported there by a local funeral home “would be too expensive,” according to a $10 million lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
Aleksander and Nataliya Yeremeyev “expressed concerns about Michael’s body becoming stiff during the long drive from Salem to Seattle,” and requested an extra blanket to cover his body, the pair’s complaint states.
