Ashes in 24 Hours and No Autopsy

Day 2 · 5:55:13 · James Freeland · Shawn Buckley

• 💔 James Freeland says the doctor only called his mother’s death a “hard hit to the heart” and refused an autopsy without police suspicion.
• ⚱️ He received Donna’s ashes in under 24 hours at the height of the pandemic, far faster than any prior family cremation.
• 🏠 Her ashes remain in the house because he cannot bury them while believing she was killed and he can do nothing about it.

Freeland describes the death-certificate stonewall, refused autopsy, and ashes returned in less than a day.

And I'm bawling at the time and I'm crying. And he said son, it was just a hard hit to the heart. I said, I'm not an idiot, you can tell me what it is, like what, what's going to be on the death certificate, you know? And he said, son, it's a hard hit to the heart. And he started walking away from me, and I grabbed him on the shoulder and I turned him around and I said, what did my mother die of? She was 60 years old, type 2 diabetes, nothing else wrong with her. And died 2 days after the shot. You tell me what's wrong with her. And then I asked for an autopsy and he refused and he said that they will not do an autopsy unless, um, law enforcement or suspicious circumstances. And then he walked away. And then I had my mom's ashes in my hands in less than 24 hours during the height of pandemic.

24 Hours? Less than 24 4 hours. How does that happen?

James Freeland · 5:56:17

You tell me. I've never had— I have ashes from other friends and family that I've never even gotten less than 3 days.
