FedEx apologized on Twitter following a report that it’s been three years since it lost the body of a man in shipment.
“Three years have passed since the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office sent a box containing Jeffrey Merriweather’s remains via FedEx, and neither the shipping company or Fulton County have explained where the remains are,” a Friday tweet from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution read.
“I am truly sorry you went through this experience,” FedEx responded in a since-deleted tweet. “Please send a direct message so I can continue assisting you.”

Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office shipped the remains to a specialized facility to determine a cause of death for Jeffrey Merriweather Jr., who was found dead and partially decomposing in 2019. Merriweather’s remains have since been lost in transit, leaving his family members in the dark as to how he died.
Merriweather was 32 years old when he died.
