Man left to decompose on hospital mortuary table for six days.

[super jumbe]

David Gardner, 59, from Tetbury, was admitted to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital suffering from a diseased kidney and liver. He died on 1 March.

His family claim his body was too big to fit in a mortuary fridge so was left unrefrigerated on a table. A plan for an open casket funeral was scrapped because his body was too decayed.

'Just wrong'

Mr Gardner's wife Elsie said the family had wanted to say goodbye to him in an open casket but could not because his body was too badly decomposed.
