‘When Your Son Eats Your Dad’: UK Mother Stunned As Toddler Devours Grandfather’s Ashes
A UK mother was left stunned after discovering that her toddler had eaten the ashes of her late father. Natasha Emeny had briefly stepped out of the living room to put away clothes, only to return and find her one-year-old son, Koah, covered in the cremated remains of his grandfather.
In a video shared online, a visibly shaken Emeny can be heard exclaiming, "Oh my God. When your son eats your dad. My son has eaten my dad's ashes!" The oblivious toddler continued to walk around the room, smearing ashes on himself, the furniture, and the floor.
The mother explained that the urn had been placed on a top shelf, supposedly out of Koah’s reach, and that the child had never shown any interest in it before. However, he somehow managed to access it and, much to his mother’s horror, decided to taste it.

The clip, captioned “When your son eats your dad,” quickly gained viral attention, with viewers shocked by the bizarre incident. Some initially believed it was an elaborate April Fools’ joke, prompting Emeny to clarify, "I wish it was."
Thankfully, Koah suffered no health complications from the unexpected ingestion. After consulting doctors, Emeny was advised, "They said to give him water, and he’ll be fine."
Despite the shocking nature of the event, Emeny has since found a way to see humor in the situation. "He never met him, but now they are always together!" she quipped. She also added, "My dad would be creasing (cracking up), too. He definitely would have laughed; we all love a bit of dark humor."
The unexpected family reunion has left the mother still processing what happened. "I was mortified. I'm still trying to process it!" she admitted. The viral video has amassed hundreds of thousands of views, with social media users reacting with a mix of disbelief, amusement, and sympathy.
