A dead dad "left lying in the morgue like unclaimed baggage" for nine months will finally be laid to rest after a long-running row over who should bury him.
Stuart Fisher, 57, died suddenly on June 14, 2022, with his Next of Kin left to arrange his funeral.But Stuart's daughter Brogan Watson, 26, claims the dad-of-three's Next of Kin, who we cannot name for legal reasons, took grant money provided for his burial and disappeared after cutting contact with his family members.Brogan, from Dunfermline, has told how she has been left devastated by her lengthy fight to have her dad's body released into her care so she can organise his final journey.Brogan told the Record: "I have been fighting to get dad's Next of Kin status transferred to me for months.
I wasn't able to reach the person who had it and my dad was left lying in the morgue like unclaimed baggage for months because his body couldn't be released to me."This has been heartbreaking and it has absolutely drained me.
