After the death of Timothy Garlington in 2023, his grieving parents received a box containing his brain from two funeral homes. The couple discovered this horrifying revelation after the box began to smell and leak fluids in their car. Lawrence Butler moved the box and had brain matter cover his hands, leading to a traumatic experience. The lawsuit alleges negligence and emotional distress from the handling of human remains by both funeral homes. The traumatic memory significantly impacts the family’s recollections of their son.
Lawrence Butler described the overwhelming discovery of his son's brain in a box, stating, 'I got in my car and I smelled death, it still haunts me.'
The red box, which was initially unlabeled, leaked fluid in the Butlers' car, leading to the horrific revelation of its contents being Timothy Garlington's brain.
Attorney L Chris Stewart stated, 'The parents' last memory is holding their son's brain,' highlighting the emotional impact of the situation.
The lawsuit claims that both funeral homes negligently mishandled human remains, causing emotional distress to the grieving parents.
