A mother cremated a body she thought was that of her dead son, only for him to turn up alive later, police said on Friday.

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.

The 58-year-old mother, from Urmston, Greater Manchester, formally identified the body as that of her son and, following an inquest, the body was cremated on October 30.

Woe! imagine the shock of seeing your "dead son" Alive and well!

Shock is right. I don't know what I would do if this were to happen to me.

But wait didn't she identify the body? I guess maybe the shock of being told her son was dead upset her so much she didn't give the body a good look? I agree what a shock to find out he was alive, but a good sort of shock. It would be like a miracle.
