    Mortuaries are not used by all communities. Negligence mainly because people are not aware and of its importance.

    Vishal Puttur.may be not by all communities used.But when used whoever ,because the necessity is there,concerned people should see that it is kept with lower temperature.Afterall people pay for it.Mortuary is not only for certain communities.But till necessary formalities are completed,or relatives are not there immediately body to take home.etc. Sad that noone cared for it.what a negligence.

    24 hours after the internal organ decompose. Natural process involving the breakdown of organic tissue. The rate of decomposition varies due to several factors, including weather, temperature, moisture, pH and oxygen levels, cause of death and body position . All Human bodies follow the same stage. His body was postmortem. Really very sad. R.I. P.

    For that reason embalming is used to prevent biological degeneration of dead tissue.
    Here their cooling system was not functioning as shown in the video I saw, they could have informed the relatives about the same & should have asked them to move the body to other mortuaries, which is sheer negligence on their part & inhuman act on the diseased & bereaving family to mistreat the departed.

    It it is indeed sad. That negligence in our country be it in whatever form provokes people first and then protest follows. Any emotional outburst doenot long last. The nightmare of the people directly affected continue from that moment. What has to be done firstly an FIR has to be lodged with all the relevant info. Documents have to collected to prove negligence like receipts, post mortem reports photographs etc. Then a high compensation of should be claimed from the concerned. Here politicians can only put you off track. What we need in this case is an honest lawyer with a fighting spirit.
    Rest in Peace Wilson.
