No one claimed his body when he died. These strangers came together to help bury him | CBC News With no family or friends to organize, a call-out was posted looking for volunteer pallbearers to help at the burial of an unclaimed body in Oshawa. Many turned up.

A pallbearer for someone you didnโ€™t know? This story is so sad, and yet restores faith that there is good in the world. โ€œIt truly feels like we were a group of relatives coming together to send somebody off who really deserved to know that theyย were loved."
