Despite a judge's ruling that medical examiner staff were at fault and another ruling that blamed a hospital security guard, Service Nova Scotia and the board that oversees funeral professionals say Forest Haven staff cremated the wrong body.
Joe Curry was processing a knot of emotions Friday after a Nova Scotia judge ruled he was not to blame when two bodies were switched in December 2021, and the wrong one was cremated.
A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge says Joe Curry should get his funeral director's licence back after a wrongful cremation when medical examiner's staff gave out the wrong body at Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Nova Scotia's registrar of embalmers and funeral directors says a security guard at Cape Breton Regional Hospital mixed up two bodies last December, but Forest Haven Memorial Gardens was also at fault.
