Scottish Mortician Accidentally Leaves Body In Van He Drops Off For Repairs

A worker has been suspended over the discovery of a body in an NHS mortuary van when it was taken to a garage for repairs.

NHS Grampian are investigating the "serious incident" which happened in Aberdeen on Wednesday.

A porter took the vehicle to get a back light repaired but was unaware that a body was still inside.

A spokeswoman for the health board said: "This is a very serious incident and we are dealing with it as a matter of urgency. We have very strict processes in place to ensure that we deal sensitively and respectfully with deceased patients. Clearly these did not work on this occasion.

"We have taken immediate action to commission an independent investigation to understand what has gone wrong. Pending this investigation, a member of staff has been suspended."
