A Geneva family has discovered that their son Alexandre, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver three years ago, was buried without his brain.
It had been removed by the Romandy University Centre of Forensic Medicine without direct notice to his relatives, who only learned of the removal five months after the funeral.
The family describes the process as "dehumanising" and says they were told far too late.
Forensic authorities are now being pressed to explain their procedures, in a case raising wider questions about how next of kin are informed when organs are retained for medical-legal examination.
