When identifying remains, there are several things that can go wrong, causing relatives to not correctly identify their loved one.

If they are using a picture that is outdated, or they have not seen the relative for a very long time, there can be confusion in what the person actually looked like at the time of their death.

There are many technical ways that there could be confusion in attempting to identify human remains, including laboratory mix-ups and medical record inaccuracies.
