What happened: Kianty and Conor Simpson have not had an inquest into their son Jacob's death four years ago, leaving them unable to scatter his ashes.
Why it matters:
- Delays in inquests can prolong families' grief and prevent closure.
- The lack of official investigation affects bereaved parents seeking answers.
MNN Take: Inquests help determine causes of unexplained deaths, providing important information for families and authorities. Delays can hinder this process and add to emotional distress.
