KETCHIKAN, Alaska — A woman who drove her husband’s body on a days-long travelling wake in Alaska and used ice from canneries to keep him cold is not accused of breaking any laws.
Officers responded to a call last week to find the body of a 78-year-old man inside an aluminum transport casket.
Ketchikan Police Chief Alan Bengaard told the Ketchikan Daily News (http://bit.ly/2a4IF5q) that the woman stopped at canneries for ice to put in the truck bed during the “rolling wake.”
The man had died of natural causes.
