A woman whose brother died in a plane crash and then got the wrong body, says she “added an injury” to her family.
Fiongal Greenlov-Mek, 39 years old, and his husband Jamie, 45, were among 242 people aboard the flight that crashed on June 12 after departing to London Gatwick from Ahmedabad.
said his sister Arwen Greenlov BBC Newsnight Her family sought dignity and closing, as well as accountable for those who misinterpret her brother’s remains.
The Foreign Bureau said it continued to support families affected by the accident in India with “devoted affairs workers”, adding that “official identification of bodies is a matter for the Indian authorities.”
Ms Greenlov from Cambridge told the BBC that she wanted “dignity” for brother and “closing for the family”.
“If this is impossible – because the worst scenario is that it was cremated as someone else – then we need to know what to move on,” she added.
“Someone is incorrectly placed by the remnants – it added an injury.”
She said that there was a “lack of forensic protocols” on the scene of the accident, and the site was “not closed within 48 hours”.
“It just can’t happen again,” she said.
“I think the whole family was still in complete distrust because these are the things that are happening in the news and other people. It was shocking and confused.”
At Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner there were 230 passengers and 12 crews, including 169 Indian citizens, 53 British, seven Portuguese citizens and one Canadian.
Many people living in a residential neighborhood near the Ahmedabad International Airport Ahmedabad Sardar Vallabhai, where the hill descended, were also killed, and the number of confirmed victims was at least 270. This included a number of medical students who remained in the area.
A preliminary investigation 15-page report Posted last month, it is said that the fuel for the engines of the plane stopped a few seconds after takeoff.
The circumstances around how this happened remain unclear. The report is said in Restored voice recordings of the cabinOne of the pilots can be heard: “Why did you cut off?” – To which another pilot replied that “did not do it.”
The final report is expected in 12 months.
On the days after the deadly disaster, Ms Greenlov said their mother flew to India as part of the official identification process.
“According to her, it was a chaotic scene,” Ms Greenlov reminded. “She went straight to the hospital to give a blood sample, we were told that up to 72 hours to get positive identification – and it was right.
“She returned from India with what she considered the remains of her son. This equivalent would lose it twice.
“Mom saw the situation there, smelled of smells, saw the attractions, saw the scene. I think it made it more real to see it.”
Ms Greenlov explained when she was returned to the box, she was verified and was recognized as “remains of two different people”.
As a result, the Coroner in London decided to conduct further tests, and the family was able to get DNA from Fiongal’s headphones, which proved that the remains were not it.
“I would say we are going up and down with feelings,” said Ms Greenlov, answering the question of how the family feels.
“We are not naive, we understand that this is probably a terrible situation, and my heart goes out to those who have understood – but we know that the remains of the Fini were found.
“At this point, you could expect the remains to come home. If it did not match, we could overcome our heads.”

“They were strange,” said Ms Greenlov.
“Two parts of one soul. They lived together, they got married and died together. They were two halves.”
