A family in California is suing a funeral home after discovering the wrong man in the casket, dressed in their loved one’s clothes. Workers attempted to claim the family was mistaken when confronted about the mix-up.

Amentha Hunt went to Harrison-Ross Mortuary in Compton to prepare her uncle, 80-year-old Otis Adkinson, for burial but found another man in the casket, as reported by KCAL.

“It shouldn’t have happened,” Hunt told the outlet. “I didn’t make arrangements there to see the wrong body.”

Hunt said she is still traumatized by seeing someone else in the suit she chose for her uncle. 

“It’s hurting,” she said. “To view the wrong corpse, I still can see that guy.”

Adkinson, originally from Memphis, passed away on February 28. According to his obituary, his family remembered him as a “good ole country boy” who loved fishing, barbecuing, dancing, and watching the Los Angeles Lakers.
