Last month, Gina Partington of Manchester, England reported that her 37-year-old son Thomas Dennison had gone missing. A few days later, police found a dead body that Partington positively identified as her son. She had Thomas's remains cremated. The weird thing is that the body wasn't actually her son. Thomas had been found very much alive a few days before in a nearby town. From Reuters:
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission to discover why Partington was not told of her son's discovery in the days before she attended the cremation…
Police said in a statement: "This set of circumstances is clearly distressing and urgent inquiries are ongoing to establish how this happened."
