Fifty years after burying his brother and best friend, John Santi spent almost every fortnight by his grave site. So when he saw his brother's name in a newspaper along with 143 others calling for family members to contact the coroner, it marked the beginning of 16 months of hell culminating in a formal apology from the Tasmanian government. Tony Santi had died in a motorcycle crash when he was 19 in 1976. A 13-year-old John remembered his brother's body being taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital before his family received the remains to be buried.
