Aaron Driver’s body cremated ‘against Islamic burial rules’: mosque
STRATHROY, Ont. — A terrorist sympathizer killed in a police takedown in southwestern Ontario last week has been laid to rest.
The London Muslim Mosque said in a statement that Driver’s family declined its offer of support and chose to have his body cremated, which is against Islamic burial rules.
The 24-year-old’s father, Wayne Driver, told the Toronto Star that his son had a “quiet and sweet” burial at an undisclosed location on Thursday morning.
He told the newspaper that a Christian minister presided at the ceremony, and one of Aaron’s former friends performed a Muslim prayer over his remains.
