The NDP Central Kingstown parliamentary representative, St Clair Leacock, stated also that the family should have been offered the opportunity of a state or official funeral.
Sources say that such is not the case and that the family was offered an official funeral.
Joseph once held the portfolios of DPP and magistrate. He was also the lawyer for the St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Welfare Association.
He once contested the West St George seat on an NDP ticket and lost to Mike Browne of the ULP.
