Families Await DNA Answers After Crash | Bahamas News
Description
Families are grappling with the heartbreaking task of identifying crash victims as remains are too damaged for visual recognition, with up to seven possibly unidentifiable without DNA testing — a process delayed by the Bahamas’ lack of local labs and reliance on overseas labs that can take months. Dental records offer an alternative path, but autopsies remain essential to determine cause of death. Meanwhile, a planned family meeting has been postponed; only six of ten relatives have contacted the airline, which insists on waiting until identifications are complete before group discussions, opting instead for individual meetings once names are confirmed. Police, too, are holding off on releasing official names until the identification process is further along.
