· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A Hispanic family in Washington Heights, Manhattan, is devastated after a funeral home mistakenly cremated their father, José Luis Díaz Felipe. The error was discovered when family members opened the casket during the funeral and found a different body. Jacinta Díaz, his daughter, expressed her anguish, stating that they were repeatedly shown the wrong body. The Ortiz Funeral Home, which has a history of similar incidents, previously faced a lawsuit in 2022 after nearly 50 complaints, resulting in a $600,000 settlement. The family is considering legal action but also empathizes with the other affected family. They demand DNA evidence before accepting any actions from the funeral home.
