7:33Now PlayingA family have spoken of their ordeal after they were sent the body of a 77-year-old man instead of their dead son.
British teacher Kevin Nightingale, 39, died of a heart attack in Cambodia on 1 May.
The family borrowed £7,000 to repatriate his body but were mistakenly sent the body of the older man.
The family say Kevin's body was returned a week after the mistake in a badly decomposed state as it had not been embalmed.
The body of the 77-year-old Cambodian man was cremated in the UK and had his ashes sent back to Cambodia.
