Maria Cebreros, who lives in Tijuana, says the cremation of her son’s remains was at odds with her religious beliefs.
A Tijuana woman who sued the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office over the cremation of her slain son’s remains, in violation of her religious faith, is poised to receive a $445,000 settlement.
It was not immediately clear when the county Board of Supervisors may vote on the recommendation. The Coroner’s Office declined to comment. Jesus Cebreros, who lived with his mother in Tijuana, had a Visa/Border Crossing Card to legally enter the U.S. and often visited his young son in San Diego County, according to the lawsuit.
A California Highway Patrol officer responded and noticed a decomposed hand protruding from the bag. An investigator with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office soon arrived, and inspected the body, which was wrapped in black trash bags.Cebreros alleges Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide investigators recovered various items of evidence at the scene, including a Mexican passport and a driver’s license that listed a telephone number and home address in Tijuana.
