NY woman finds new body in son's grave

UNIONDALE -- A woman visiting her son's tomb at a Long Island cemetery was dismayed to discover that the grave contained a new body.

Officials at Greenfield Cemetery in Uniondale quickly realized that they had mistakenly buried a man in the wrong spot.

The new coffin was apparently laid to rest on top of the old one on Nov. 8.

The distraught mother, Nicole Pailliere, says she is furious about the mistake.

Authorities say the cemetery compounded its error by exhuming the newly deposited body without getting his family's permission first.
