A British couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday at a luxury resort in Egypt after the room next door was sprayed with pesticide to kill bed bugs, a coroner has found.
I think all of them do. If the state pays for it, at the very least they're going to try and recover the cost from the deceased's estate. If the estate has no value, then the state would probably cover the cost of a cremation but that's it.
No, in countries where I lived social security simply pays for the funeral. There can be some edge cases where a person is uninsured and family has to pay but it's very rare. In Poland family will simply get a fixed amount so they can pay a private funeral home. Funeral homes charge the same about that people get from the government, around $1000. In Spain the funeral homes are public and social security will pay for the service. There can be some extra costs for special services like a mass in church but basic costs are covered.
5 years to get an independent coronor's report, and still no word of any compensation.
Don't travel to Egypt.
I know coronors don't work quickly, but taking five years, that just seems too weird to me.
IMO there's something else going on that's not obvious from the article.
They're dead, I don't think money will be much use
And what about their family? It’s not cheap to put loved ones to rest.
Really? Where I live government pays for the funeral. What fucked up country charges people for dying?
I'll give you one guess
