Suffolk County publishes the remains of the musician

Almost a month after a Suffolk woman died during a fire, her remains are finally released from Suffolk County to her family after the victim's brother had contacted News 12 for help.

Her brother, Gary Urivetzky, from Island Park, said that he had not received any answers from the Suffolk Medical Examiner office about when her remains would be returned to the family.

“I'm just trying to get through that as much as possible,” he said.

Gary Urivetzky said he first said that the Suffolk Medical Examiner could not pass them on to them until they identified them positively.

He went to a cheek smear on February 4 to reach his DNA with his sister.

“You advised me that there is a deficit of these cases in Suffolk County and that it can take a few weeks before you get the results back from your laboratory,” he said.

Susan Klein from the Deer Park scored Sim Urivetzky almost a decade ago by the music group on the island.

Klein says she hates thinking about the fact that she was still not being rested.

“She is on a cold plate in the Suffolk district and she buried in the Jewish religion the next day,” said Klein.

After not heard for weeks, they contacted News 12.

Within a few hours after talking to a spokesman for Suffolk County, the spokesman announced that news 12 Sim Urivetzky had already been identified, but nobody informed the family.

News 12 asked Suffolk County how this could happen.

In a statement on News 12, a spokesman for the district said: “We examine how this mistake, which is extremely rare, has occurred and takes the corresponding steps to ensure that it does not happen again.”

“Quiet in peace means exactly,” said Klein. “Peace in peace does not mean hanging off in the ME office.”

Gary Urivetzky says he is now working with Suffolk County to bring his sister's remains to a funeral company.
