CONCORD, N.H. — A judge has ordered a man to lay an unusual family heirloom to rest: a mummified baby has been passed down for generations.
Authorities seized the mummy last year when the man’s niece mentioned it to staff at a day care center.
State tests showed the baby had died of natural causes, but they didn’t establish a family relationship. Now, the state won’t release the remains to the Charles Peavey family without proof of kinship, and Peavey says he can’t afford DNA testing.
