Cremation Mistake Results in Lawsuit

VANDALIA, OHIO - An attorney for the widow of Frank Granato filed a lawsuit against the Montgomery County Coroner's Office on Wednesday.

Suzy Granato blames the coroner's office for a mistake that led to her husband being cremated.

"We do not believe in cremation," she said.

Frank Granato and Arthur Potter were killed in a plane crash in Union County in 2010.

The Union County Coroner told 2 NEWS that the body bags were mislabeled at the scene.

Despite dental records, the Montgomery County Coroner's Office failed to correct the mistake.

"I blame them," Granato's widow said. "They had the dental records."

Granato was cremated and Potter was placed in a mausoleum.

The Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office is representing the coroner's office.

Neither would comment about the lawsuit.
