..& I also submitted it under the title "Return of the living dead!" I can't remember the blurb I added but it was no doubt hilarious! Submitted under CanadianFuneralDirector. Again, fuck you!

The real question is who is going to get away with a murder? No body, no evidence. ============ Just because there is no body doesn't mean there is no evidence. I think you were searching for "no corpus delicti". In any case you still don't need a physical body to be convicted of murder as long as there is sufficient evidence that a murder took place.

I won't argue that one cannot be convicted on circumstancial evidence without a body in evidence. I can think of a case in California where a conviction was made and the body of the victim was finally found some years later. What I should have said is without a body, it will be hard to prove an identity and link someone to a charge of murder.

I would be so creeped out if I saw my cremated dad on TV. Last I knew he was in an urn in mom's cedar chest.

Does he smoke when he walks, like DOG the Bounty Hunter does in the ads ?

Well it's certainly going to be tough to identify who really got cremated now isn't it?

Mr Renehan then contacted the police, who asked him a series of questions before DNA tests confirmed their relationship. Okay. So the DNA to the cremated body also was a match to be this guys dad. OH wait. There wasn't a DNA test done on the first guy. The coroner just looked at the decomposing body and the son and said "Yep. thats your dad".

Interesting that they say the old guy has amnesia and not some form of dementia. All real forms of retrograde amnesia result from a desire to leave one's life and some form of minor head trauma. Funny if even subconsciously the old fart wanted to hide from his family.

I love how the police go on about "we didn't have that / do that 'back then'" like 2000 is 50 years ago. It's not even a decade ago! 2000 is not the stone age! What a bunch of dweebs trying to make excuses.
