A mysterious disappearance
Faraj Allah Jarjor's body has not been seen by relatives since it was taken to a hospital in Havana last month. The 68-year-old man, who was then vacationing with his family in Cuba, died of natural causes a few hours earlier.
Much later, when the funeral procession contacted them, the sixty-year-old's relatives realized that their father's body had accidentally been exchanged with another Russian man. We were able to send him home soon.
From then on, there was nothing more on the side of Faraj Allah Jarjor's body. “Where is he? Is he in Cuba? Is he not in Cuba? We don't know,” protested his daughter.
For the young woman, the body may have been cremated. An investigation by Cuban officials should allow us to learn more.
