Ottawa helping Canadian family over apparent mixup involving caskets

OTTAWA - The federal government is assisting the family of a Canadian woman
who died on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten but whose body may been sent
to the wrong place.

A Foreign Affairs spokeswoman says the department has been in touch both
with officials on St. Maarten and relatives of the Canadian, whose identity
has not been released.

The trouble began last month after a Rhode Island woman found someone else's
body in a casket that was supposed to contain her mother, who died suddenly
while vacationing in St. Maarten.

That family believes a hospital or funeral home confused the American
woman's body with that of a woman from Ottawa _ both died on the island
around the same time.

They think their relative was sent to Ottawa by mistake and cremated.

The St. Maarten government says it has launched an investigation into the
matter.
