St. Lucian morgue employee cremated by mistake while taking a nap on a stretcher

According to the Royal Saint Lucia Police, 53-year old Geovanni Dillan Severin, decided to take a nap on a stretcher after working for sixteen hours straight.

While he was sleeping, another employee mistook him for the corpse of a 49-year old car accident victim and carried him to the crematory.

Before anyone could notice the mistake, he had already been exposed to temperatures ranging between 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Akim Loctor, 38, one of Geovanni Dillan’s co-workers, says he heard him scream for about 15 seconds after the crematory was activated.

“At first, we didn’t understand where the sound was coming from. When we realised what was happening, it was too late. We shut down the heating system, but he was already turned into ashes.”

Mr. Loctor claims that the young co-worker who caused the accident was a fresh employee, and had forgotten to check for the toe tag to make sure he had the right body.

The police has opened an investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding Mr Geovanni’s death.

Investigators have not ruled out the possibility of filing criminal charges against the new employee who caused his death.

The young man could possibly be accused of criminal negligence causing death.
