Dead or alive
A British mother was stunned when her son turned up on her doorstep - because she thought she had buried him just days earlier.
Gina Partington’s 37-year-old son Thomas Dennison was reported missing last month and a body was found in Rusholme, Manchester, three days later.
Gina, 58, formally identified the body as that of her son and, following an inquest, the body was cremated on October 30.
But police had actually found Dennison, who was living rough in Nottingham, four days earlier.
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission to discover why Partington was not told of her son’s discovery in the days before she attended the cremation.
Police said in a statement: "This set of circumstances is clearly distressing and urgent inquiries are ongoing to establish how this happened."
