The relatives had been suspicious all along that the body wasn't his.
Rhonda Wearing, Roberts' 52-year-old daughter, says the man looked older than her father. And she says the person had been killed, while her father died of a heart attack.
Wearing calls the mix-up traumatic. The funeral home declined to comment to The Associated Press.
