Mortuary Attendants Hijack Dead Body At Cemetery Over Unsettled Debt

Mixed reactions and backlashes from the social media have continued to trail the story of a dead body hijacked at a cemetery by enraged mortuary attendants. The funeral, which took place on February 11 2017, in Ghana was going well until the two enraged mortuary attendants with Tema General Hospital stormed the Tema Community 9 Cemetery and seized the dead body over a GH¢40 (R112) unpaid debt. In the public view of mourners, the mortuary attendants got to where the body was being interred, seized the coffin, opened it, picked out the dressed corpse and headed back to the mortuary with it.

Family members of the deceased were chilled to the marrow as they watched and could not do anything to stop the enraged attendants. A local media outlet reported that the family of the deceased took the body to the cemetery without clearing their debt at the morgue. Some sources revealed that the dead body was carried off while the mortuary attendants were attending to other families who came to take their loved ones. However, the internment commenced shortly after some friends and elderly men intervened. All around the world, so many bizarre and sacrilegious things happen during funerals – so many of them often make people cringe.
