    3. I am led to believe Dorethy Madelaine Beryl Toft LAW died en route from Brisbane to England 1967, and was buried at sea. Is that likely I should have thought her corpse would be buried either in the port of arrival or at some place nominated by her next of kin, if any! Can readers please advise?
