Philly Health Chief Ousted On MOVE Bombing Anniversary For Discarding Victims' Remains
HuffPost
Health Commissioner Thomas Farley was forced to resign after cremating victims' remains from the 1985 police attack instead of returning them to family.
The head of Philadelphia’s public health department was forced to resign on Thursday for mishandling the remains of victims of the MOVE bombing, a racist act of police violence that happened on this exact day 36 years ago. Mayor Jim Kenney announced that he had asked Health Commissioner Thomas Farley to hand in his resignation effective immediately due to Farley’s decision to cremate and dispose of an unknown number of victims’ remains instead of fully identifying them and returning them to family members. Farley disposed of the victims’ remains during the first term of Kenney’s administration, but the mayor said he had only learned of the “very disturbing incident” this week.
