Cremated Remains of 9 people found in Guardian’s Office

Cremated Remains in Guardian Office

Rebecca Fierle, a professional guardian in Orlando Florida, had the cremated remains of nine people in her office, and she is linked to the death of a 75-year-old Florida client, according to Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Orange County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at Rebecca Fierle’s Orlando office.

“Alarmingly, we found items that are cause for concern and will intensify our investigation. We found nine cremains. We are now in the process of identifying those and furthering the investigation,” Moody said.

Fierle is facing a criminal investigation and the governor has ordered a complete review of the Department of Elder Affairs’ Office of Public and Professional Guardians.

Fierle has resigned from all of her guardian cases in 14 counties writing, “I will not be seeking reappointment in any cases, nor will I seek future appointments as a guardian.”

The controversy over Fierle’s actions began after the death of a man who hospital workers would not treat because investigators say Fierle filed a “do not resuscitate” order without consent from his family.
