Tragic Mix-Up at Cádiz Institute: Wrong Bodies Delivered to Families

Cádiz Institute of Legal Medicine admits to a serious error. In October 2024, a tragic mix-up occurred at the Cádiz Institute of Legal Medicine. Two bodies, a man from Málaga and a woman from Barbate, were mistakenly delivered to the wrong families. The man's family wished for a burial, but he was mistakenly cremated. "The Institute has recognized a failure in the identity protocol," stated a spokesperson. The error was discovered a day later, causing immense distress to both families. The Institute is reviewing its procedures to prevent such incidents.
