- Thieves Come Out A Head After Breaking Into Funeral Home -
TORONTO - A Canadian family is horrified that someone broke into a funeral parlor and cut off their mother's head, leaving behind her earrings and a cash donation. The family of 68-year-old Cecile Lemay is offering a reward for the return of their mother's head, which was hacked from her
body by a thief or thieves last summer. "Each morning, when we get up, we ask ourselves: 'Where is the head? Will it show up on our lawn one morning?'," the Globe and Mail newspaper quoted Lemay's sister Carmelle as saying. Information leading to the return of the missing head will earn a reward of C$10,000 ($8,900). "We think about it each day.
We can't find closure and we want to know who did it and why," another of Lemay's sisters, Ghyslaine, said.
