MIAMI, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- The family of a Miami man who died 17 years ago is suing a Florida cemetery for losing his remains.
The body of Miguel Toledo was missing when his grave at Dade South Memorial Park was opened recently so his widow, Ondina, could be buried alongside him, The Miami Herald reports.
"They told us they opened the grave and there was nothing there -- no coffin, no remains, nothing," the Toledos' grandson, Raciel Guerra, said.
For the past 17 years, the family has been visiting Miguel Toledo's grave site on a regular basis, not knowing that his body wasn't there.
"We would bring him flowers and be with him," daughter Ondina Guerra told the Herald.
While the cemetery searches for Toledo's remains, his widow has been buried in a temporary site.
In addition to locating Miguel Toledo's body, the family is seeking money for pain and suffering.
