Texas Hospital Sent Dead Baby to Laundry: Parents File Lawsuit
The parents of a baby who was born prematurely and died that same day have filed a lawsuit alleging that the baby's body was improperly sent to a dry cleaning facility instead of being properly prepared for burial. The Dallas Morning News reported that the baby had been sent to the morgue, but that the baby was then mistakenly collected with the laundry and sent to a commercial dry cleaner. The parents' lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for mental anguish and severe emotional distress. Hospital attorneys extended their sympathies, but denied wrongdoing, according to the Dallas Morning News.
