What do you all think about the former "unknown child" buried in Halifax?
His grave was dug up, and with DNA testing from a bone fragment, they were able to identify him as Eino Viljami Panula. But until then, they assumed that by the boys description that it was another child lost on the ship. His surviving relatives were flown to Halifax and were very greatful to know that their relatives remains were now known. Was this identification not worth the grave tampering? This topic of gravesites has even a touchy subject here in my state of New Mexico. Some people a year ago wanted to resume the graves of Billy the Kid and his mother, and do DNA testing to prove if Billy was really buried there or not. But there is more controversy over the thought of loosing the tourist business if they prove he is not buried there, not the disturbing the gravesite matter. |
