A California man - who thought he had buried his son - was shocked after receiving a call from his friend, who informed him that his "dead" son was alive. According to reports, Orange County coroner's office had misidentified the body of a man, who was found dead behind a Verizon store in Fountain Valley on 6 May. And, when Frank J Kerrigan called the authorities he had been told that the body was that of his son, Frank M Kerrigan.
The 82-year-old was also told that there was no need for him to come and identify the body of his son, who was suffering from mental illness and living on the streets, as the officials have done that through fingerprints.

He spent $20,000 burying someone else.
