The remains of 64-year-old Francis Adjetey were found on October 16, but the discovery was revealed when an inquest was opened nine months later.

No water was found in Aria's lungs or stomach, ruling out drowning, confirmed Dr. Tuyet Tran of the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's Office. Neither was any food found in her stomach, calling into question the meal they'd shared before her death.

In February 2024, Shanita Hopkins was devastated to learn that the body they believed to be their missing sister was actually a stranger's remains.

Autopsies are depicted inaccurately on prime-time dramas, leading to misconceptions that discourage families from opting for these vital procedures and diminishing doctors' understanding.
