Drumheller in the news!!

The Calgary Sun - Body removed from coffin in funeral home break-in:

"Drumheller RCMP hope to unearth some clues in a truly strange break-in at a local funeral home.

And why the body of an elderly woman was removed from her coffin and left on the floor sometime during the night of Aug. 20 or the morning of the 21st is as much a mystery as the identity of whoever did this, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Rene Wells.

'It's not every day somebody breaks into a funeral chapel,' said Wells."

After the break-in was reported, several items at the scene in the community about 140 km northeast of Calgary were examined by specialists.

The results of those tests and how the suspects managed to get into the funeral home are not being released.
