A relative of a family that froze to death in southern Manitoba while trying to cross the United States border says it’s expected the bodies will not be flown home to India for a funeral.
Amritbhai Vakil said family members have decided it would be emotionally difficult to see the couple and their two children and too expensive to transport the bodies.
