Utah Cops Interrupt Husband’s Last Goodbyes to Grab Dead Woman’s Pain Pills

“Barbara Alice Mahaffey, an elderly resident of Vernal, Utah, died at home of colon cancer on May 21 as her husband of 58 years stood at her side. The death of his long-time spouse was bad enough, but what came next has Ben Mahaffey furious — and heading to court.  Mahaffey, 80, filed a lawsuit against the city of Vernal earlier this month charging that Vernal police interrupted his last goodbyes by searching his house for her prescription pain medication without a warrant within minutes after her death. Mahaffey said he was distraught and trying to ensure that his wife’s body would be transported to a funeral home with dignity when police insisted he help them look for drugs.”
