The city of Flint, a community in the heart of Michigan, was left reeling after the recent passing of Eric Mays, a long-standing and cherished member of the Flint City Council. However, what followed his death was a series of bizarre events that have now led to a lawsuit being filed by his only child, Eric HaKeem Deontaye Mays.
Allegations of Misconduct
In a shocking turn of events, Eric Mays’ son has accused the Lawrence E. Moon Funeral Home and four of the late councilman’s siblings of committing various violations of Michigan law, fraud, and conspiracy in relation to the handling of his father’s remains. The lawsuit claims that despite being the only next-of-kin, Eric’s rights to decide on the handling of his father’s remains were disregarded.
Legal Battle Unfolds
With Eric Mays passing away without a will, the lawsuit alleges that his siblings misled authorities by stating that he had no children. Furthermore, one of the siblings, who is an employee of the Moon Funeral Home, falsely claimed to have the legal authority to release the body. As a result, the funeral home is refusing to hand over the remains to Eric, even though he has provided all necessary documentation.
Seeking Justice
Eric Mays’ son is now seeking legal recourse to cancel the funeral plans arranged by the Moon Funeral Home and transfer his father’s remains to a different funeral home of his choosing. He is also demanding compensatory, punitive, and exemplary damages, along with interest and legal fees. The attorney representing Eric has highlighted the disrespect shown towards the late councilman’s legacy by holding his body hostage.
Community Outrage
The Flint community has been left in shock by these revelations, with many expressing their disbelief at the actions of the Moon Funeral Home and the late councilman’s siblings. Councilman Mays was known for his dedication to serving the people of Flint, and his sudden passing has deeply affected all those who knew him.
As the legal battle unfolds, the city of Flint is left grappling with the loss of a beloved public figure and the disturbing events that have followed his death. The outcome of this lawsuit will not only impact the Mays family but also serve as a reminder of the importance of respecting the wishes of the deceased and their next-of-kin.
