Pulaski County To Bury Unclaimed Body
- {Kentucky}...Robert George, whose body has been in the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital morgue for more than three months, will be laid to rest, possibly on Thursday, in the Burnside Cemetery in Pulaski County. George, 72, of Burnside, died of complications from a cerebral vascular accident on March 27th at UK Hospital, but his body remained unclaimed until Fayette Circuit Court Judge Thomas Clark ordered last week the Pulaski County coroner take possession of the body. UK spokesman Jay Blanton said Wednesday that UK does not have a program for handling indigent death cases and is not authorized legally to bury or dispose of a body.
