my father greg passed away on the 13th of march only family 20 yr old daughter left with funeral bill and no way to pay
Taranaki
on the 13th of march 2015 my father greg passed away welst being arrested, he was wanted on an apparent attack on his father.
my dads upbringing played a big part in his life and unfortunatly that stuck with him throughout his life
my dad was parked up at the beach in the comfort of his car when found, there was a patrol car parked directly behind him and no way for him to escape . all windows in his vehcle were smashed except windscreen welst he was in the car, he was pepper sprayed, attacked by dogs and tasered twice although it is not clear weather or not the second taser struck him, once they got him out of the car he was seen to be having difficulty breathing and passed away.
my dad to me had gotten to a stage in his life where he was very sick and depressed, he wasnt going anywhere and someone should have been on scene to talk to him and help talk him out of the car , instead of such forceful measures. which may have led to the passing of my dad .
he was said to be well knowen to police and doesnt even have a crimminal record. he was also rumered to be heavily into the drug scene which is also false
im his daughter, a 20 year old photography student. after being told i would qualify for an acc grant i went ahead and organised a small funeral for my dad but have now been denied funding with funeral costs adding upto $6148 and then burial costs and no money to pay for it no life insurance no savings nothing, he had cut off all ties with everyone in the family and hadnt had contact with anyone except me for years, he was pretty much dosowned from the family leaving me with the costs of his funearl.
my dad was a good man and he deserved to die with dignity and i hope at some stage he gets justice from what happend to him .
i am his daughter, with him being seperated from my mum and being an only child im left to sort out finding the funds to cover the expenses of his funeral.
