Angry Family threaten multi-million-dollar lawsuit in the case
The family of Andrew Frederick who died in mysterious circumstances in Lance Aux Epines eight months ago is calling for an investigation into the disappearance from his body of several of his key vital organs.
A source close to the family told THE NEW TODAY that the discovery was made by Britain’s Scotland Yard which had exhumed the body from Grenada about three weeks ago and took it to a Laboratory in London for examination.
He said the British Metropolitan police telephoned the Family and asked them if they had given permission to anyone to dispose of Andrew’s organs and this was shocking to them.
“We did not give anybody the authority to do anything with his organs,” the source quoted a family member as saying.
The issue of the missing organs was one of the subject matters at Tuesday’s Coroner’s Inquest in London on the death of the 47-year old British-born national of Grenadian parents.
According to the source, the issue was raised with the Coroner by a British King’s Counsel retained by the family to represent their interest at the Inquiry.
The Corner brought the Inquiry to an end and issued instructions for Scotland Yard Detectives to launch an investigation into the death of Andrew.
There are reports that the British government has approached Grenada through the Diplomatic channel to allow Scotland Yard to enter the country to assist the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) to determine what exactly happened at the Lance Aux Epines home on the night of January 4, 2026.
The Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard reportedly penned a letter to the Family to request them to find out from RGPF, as well as the local Funeral Home of La Qua and Pathologist Dr. Hubert Daisley about the missing body parts that included the lungs, liver, and heart.
The source indicated that the Family intends to file a multi-million dollar lawsuit if answers cannot be given by the authorities in Grenada about
Andrew’s missing organs.
The family had retained Professor Daisley to conduct a private autopsy on the body and he concluded that this was a murder case.
However, the RGPF closed their investigation with the decision that the death was “accidental”.
A source familiar with the conduct of an autopsy said that all the organs are removed in the Viscera of the persons’ body for examination by the Pathologist.
He disclosed that the parts to be removed for examination are from the throat down to the pelvic area.
He said these body parts “are cut in pieces to take samples because you can tell by looking at sample slides if something has gone wrong.”
He explained: “How you do it – you have a bucket and you have a plastic bag inside of the bucket. So as the Pathologist finished examining a piece, it is placed in the bucket in embalming solution. It sits in the Embalming solution overnight and then it is placed back into the body for sew up”.
According to the specialist, after the Pathologist completes his work, everything is put back into the body.
“All the parts are put into a body bag and put back into the Visceral into the stomach area. When you sew up the body you sew that up with it,” he added.
He told THE NEW TODAY that everything is put back into the body unless the Pathologist decides to go with “little pieces of specimen” for further investigation.
Andrew’s body was returned to Grenada a few days ago and finally laid to rest at the Grand Bras cemetery in St Andrew.
A family member confirmed that it was the wish of Andrew to be buried up there as all the close relatives are from the Byland area in St Andrew North-west.
The parents turned to the British authorities for help in the case after expressing grave reservations about the conduct of RGPF’s investigations into the incident.
