For the weeks the 24-year-old's body was in Vietnam, the family was given few updates - and struggled to get an answer about where he was.
A family who have been fighting more than a month to bring a man's body home after he died in Vietnam said he was repeatedly"lost" on route and arrived back in the UK in a deteriorated condition.
His sister, Charley Clayton, told Sky News:"I spoke to the British police and we were told they did not know where Denver's body was. Mr Barfield was eventually put on a flight on 27 May. His sister said the family were told this would be direct, but instead, the passenger plane had a nine-hour layover in Istanbul.
Mr Barfield had arrived back in the UK with the clothes he was wearing - which the family were told smelled of faeces and bodily fluids - and the rug Vietnamese authorities had used to cover him in after the crash.Charley said she"couldn't breathe" when she went into the room to identify her brother."Denver had his whole life ahead of him - he had so many things he wanted to do.
