A high profile incident occurred in
1995, with the uplifting of the entertainer Billy T. James’ body from his home by his uncle, so that, in accordance with Māori custom, the body could lie on a marae2 for a period of mourning. Since the Billy T. James case, 3 there have been a number of so-called “body snatching” incidents including the “snatching” of the body of John Takamore, and the “snatching” of the body of Tina Marshall-Mc Menamin.
