The Marion County coroner’s office is refusing to release Santiago’s body to her partner; the office cited the Defense of Marriage Act as the reason why they’ve turned down Brennon’s request to pick up her loved one’s remains. DOMA allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
Brennon had to get her aunt to claim the body of Santiago so she could then turn the remains back over to Brennon so she could make final arrangements. Further proof DOMA needs to be repealed.
