question

After her husband died in a hospital, a widow directed the hospital to send her husband's body to a funeral home for burial. The hospital negligently misidentified the husband's body and sent it to be cremated. When she was informed of the hospital's mistake, the widow suffered serious emotional distress. She has sued the hospital. Is the hospital likely to be held liable to the widow?

choices

  1. No, because the widow did not witness the cremation.
  2. No, because the widow was never in any danger of bodily harm.
  3. Yes, because hospitals are strictly liable if they do not properly dispose of corpses.
  4. Yes, because the negligent handling of the husband's body was especially likely to cause his widow serious emotional distress. €ƒ
