About That Body ...

Here's the followup to the July 9th post about the unclaimed body, "Take My Body Please".

The headline for Jennifer Hewlett 's July 14th story in the Lexington Herald Leader read:

Unclaimed body to be buried; son says he was 'not a very nice man'

Robert George whose body had lain unclaimed in the Univeristy Kentucky Chandler Hospital morgue had been a guest of the state of Indiana for "criminal deviant conduct" and had been alienated from his family.   Married "six or seven times" his relations either wanted nothing to do with him or lacked the resources to bury him.
 
Quotes from his son, Robbie George sum up a sad life:
 
"I hate to sound mean and crass ... but he created this life for himself."
"It's an unfortunate set of circumstances. He was not a very nice man."
"This man here, he caused a lot of people a lot of grief."
"He took a plea bargain so it wouldn't reflect his actual, true crime."
"He only did one prison sentence out of many that he could have been charged for."

The story mentioned that the body didn't meet the criteria for bequeathal programs.
