Parents feud over burial of daughter killed in hit-and-run

Joie Sellers, who was killed in the hit-and-run crash, is seen in this undated photo.
A grieving Brooklyn mother whose daughter was killed in a hit-and-run can’t bury her — because the child’s alleged deadbeat dad won’t let her, according to court papers.

“To date, our daughter remains locked in a frozen box in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner,” says Marcia Landais, who suffered a fractured pelvis in a July 2 tragedy that killed her 12-year-old daughter, Joie, and left her other daughter blind and paralyzed.

Soon after, David Neal Sellers, 48, who allegedly left Landais and the daughters, reappeared.

He immediately tried to get the 38-year-old mother declared “incompetent and mentally disabled,” Landais charges in a Brooklyn Supreme Court filing.

He then “unilaterally attempted to schedule a funeral for our deceased daughter while I was . . . confined to a hospital bed,” Landais charges.

Sellers declined to comment.
