Faraj Allah Jarjour, a 68-year-old man from Laval, Quebec, died suddenly while on vacation in Cuba. Following his death, a mix-up occurred when the Cuban authorities mistakenly sent the remains of a younger, tattooed Russian man to Jarjour's grieving family in Canada. The error was realized when the family received a body that was covered in tattoos and with a full head of hair, clearly not matching their father's description. Cuba has since issued an official apology to the Canadian family for the distress caused by this mistake, with the apology being issued on Wednesday.
