Buenos Aires, May 12 (EFE).- Complaints about a lack of proper respect for the dead and their family members are being heard in different parts of the world amid the coronavirus pandemic, as the urgency of caring for sick patients is making the treatment of bodies a matter of secondary importance.(CAMERA: Cecilia Caminos via Zomm and loaned by the EEAF)Statements from the EAAF's executive director, Luis Fondebrider:"Two situations worry me: what we've seen in the United States ... with those mass graves (burials of indigent persons) in New York, which is not a good practice; and I'm very worried about countries like Mexico and Brazil, which even before the coronavirus were very deficient in handling ... unidentified bodies. Mexico has thousands of unidentified bodies because of (organized crime-related) violence. In the case of Brazil, the same thing happens: thousands of bodies end up in unmarked graves due to procedural issues. I applaud that they have been using new protocols but these are situations that always worry us. There were a lot of deaths in Europe and Italy but there weren't as many unidentified bodies, most of them come from hospitals and health centers. Here we have cases of people coming from jails and detention centers and all those gaps holes in the procedures worry us."
