The problems at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner haven't gone away with the departure of Mark Flomenbaum. In December, someone at the office picked up the wrong body from a Brockton hospital.
While the incident didn't go quite as far as the wrong body winding up in someone else's grave, the employee was clearly confused. Luckily, someone at the South Boston office realized they had the wrong person and returned the body to the hospital.
The office at least had a decent excuse--the bodies that got mixed up belonged to two elderly women, and they were both named Dorothy, WCVB reports.
However, you'd think that, after all the fuss about incompetence at the medical examiner's office, they might be more careful about picking up the right body, at least for PR's sake.
