TAMPA, Fla — Kathryn and Travis Wilson have yet to have a funeral for their newborn son because a lawsuit claims the hospital where he was born lost the body.
The Wilsons are suing St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa for "negligent handling of Jacob Wesley Wilson's body" and "reckless infliction of emotional distress."
They say the hospital has yet to find Jacob's body. He was born on Feb. 25, 2020, and died three days later.
After the boy's death, the lawsuit says St. Joseph's contracted with Metro Mortuary Transport, Inc., to take the body to Orlando Regional Medical Center to have an autopsy done. The autopsy was completed and the body was brought back to St. Joseph's morgue wrapped in blankets and in a body bag, according to the suit.
On March 5, the lawsuit says the hospital contacted the Wilsons to say Jacob's body had been returned from the autopsy and that the couple should go ahead with setting up funeral arrangements. The next day, the Wilsons met with Serenity Meadows Memorial Park to make funeral arrangements for the baby.
That same day, the Wilsons called St. Joseph's to provide funeral arrangement details.
Five days later, the lawsuit claims St. Joseph's called Kathryn Wilson and informed her that the hospital could not find the child's body. The suit says the hospital has still not been able to find Jacob's remains.
Because of this, the lawsuit says the Wilsons have suffered physical and psychological trauma. The couple is seeking damages of more than $30,000.
BayCare Health System, which manages St. Joseph's Hospital, sent the following statement to 10 Tampa Bay:
"Since first learning that Jacob Wilson’s remains were missing, St. Joseph's Hospital has investigated all avenues and fully cooperated in all search efforts in the hope that they could be found. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Wilsons for the loss of their child. We also deeply regret not being able to account for the remains. St. Joseph’s leadership and all personnel in our morgues are committed that this unforeseen situation will not happen again."
