The Institute of Pathology has apologised for unknowingly switching the carcasses of two dead infants, causing one home to exhume the bad child.
The university, part of the Department of Medical Services, said on Tuesday that it received the carcasses of two baby boys from the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health on Wednesday next year. One had died aged four months and one day and the other two decades and one time.
The declaration said the body of the four-month-old baby was later handed to the home of the deceased two-month-old child, and was cremated.
The university eventually realised the error and apologised to the actual families of the four-month-old child.
The university said the blunder happened because the toddlers ‘ age and spellings were identical and they died on the same day.
It promised to increase its work procedures to prevent for an event from recurring.
It said it accepted duty and had organise merit-making rites for the souls of the two children.
The offended family of the four-month-old child received his embers in tears on Friday next month.
