In August of 2019, a young man named Harry Dunn tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident. His family has been grieving his loss and trying to come to terms with their devastating loss. However, they were recently faced with another painful blow when they discovered that the police had kept some of Harry's tissue for over four years.
It was that fateful day in August when Harry, only 19 years old, was riding his motorcycle and was involved in a head-on collision with a car near RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire. The driver of the car, Anne Sacoolas, was a US state department employee who was driving on the wrong side of the road. In December of 2022, she was given a suspended sentence of eight months.
After the accident, the family had asked the police if they could have Harry's personal items back, such as his motorcycle, clothes, and other possessions. They wanted to hold onto these items as a way to stay connected to their beloved son and brother. They even had plans to create a sculpture from the remains of the bike and make teddy bears and cushions for Harry's young cousins.
However, the police had informed them that everything had been destroyed in the crash due to a large explosion. The family accepted this and tried to move on from that painful chapter. It wasn't until recently that they were told the truth - that some of Harry's belongings had actually survived the crash.
Harry's mother, Charlotte Charles, expressed her frustration and disappointment at the police's lack of communication and breakdown in protocol. She shared that they were informed by a family spokesperson, Radd Seiger, that several items, including his clothing, helmet, and bike frame, had been preserved and were only now being returned to them.
This news has caused the family to be re-traumatized and they have decided to hold a second funeral for Harry. They will be laying him to rest again tomorrow, as they had initially believed that all of his remains were lost in the crash. The family is heartbroken and feels like they are saying goodbye to their son all over again.
A spokesperson for the Northamptonshire Police has acknowledged the family's plans for a second funeral and has been working closely with them. They explained that after examining the items, human remains were found on Harry's clothing, and they have been returned to the family at their request. The family now has all of Harry's belongings in their possession and the police will continue to support them moving forward.
The force's Det Chief Supt Emma James has also expressed her intention to meet with the family to ensure complete transparency and address any concerns they may have. The family is grateful for the support they have received from the police, but they are still struggling to come to terms with this new information.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and the Dunn family has been through more than their fair share of pain and heartache. They will now have to find closure and say goodbye to Harry once again, but they will always keep his memory alive in their hearts.
