Buried Angels

STOCKHOLM 1991

Two Carin Görings?

The Forensic Laboratory in Linköping has analysed the human remains that were recently found in a zinc-lined chest in the vicinity of what was once Hermann Göring’s estate of Karinhall. The remains were said to belong to Carin Göring, née Fock, who died in 1931. The strange thing is that in 1951 a forest warden discovered some scattered skeletal remains that were presumed to belong to Carin Göring. Under great secrecy, they were cremated and then a vicar took the ashes to Sweden for burial in Lovö Cemetery.

That was the third time Carin Göring was buried. The first time was in the Fock family plot in Lovö Cemetery, then at the Karinhall estate, and finally in Sweden.

Now another chapter is being written in this peculiar story. DNA analysis shows that the latest discovered remains do indeed belong to Carin Göring. So the question is: Whose ashes are interred in Lovö Cemetery outside Stockholm?
