Grieving families outraged over NYC funeral home body-storage scandal

(NYPost April 30 2020)

https://nypost.com/2020/04/30/grieving-families-outraged-over-nyc-funeral-home-body-storage-scandal/

 

Outraged relatives flocked to a Brooklyn funeral home Thursday following the horrifying revelation that decomposing bodies were found piled up in un-refrigerated rental trucks outside and lying on the facility’s floor.

 

Tamisha Covington broke down in tears upon leaving the storefront business of Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Services in Flatlands, saying she got “no responses, no answers” about the body of her mom, who died April 9.

 

“They charged me $15,000 to lay my mother to rest and what am I getting out of the $15,000?” she said.

 

“I’m getting her body being in a U-Haul truck for however long. I’m buying dresses, I’m trying to work with these people to see the last viewing of my mother … and no contact, no nothing.”

 

Covington said her mother, Deborah Harris, 60, died in her arms at home after suffering a heart attack.

 

Harris wasn’t tested for the coronavirus but has been classified as a victim of the killer respiratory illness, Covington said.

 

“They said, within two weeks they would have my mother buried,” she said.

 

“This is too much on humanity. I’m really hurt. I don’t even know what I’m looking for other than the fact that I expect to lay my mother down properly with respect and at a reasonable time.”

 

A man who gave his name as Peter said he tried in vain to find out what had happened to his late ex-wife, who was brought to the funeral home Friday.

 

He said he was told at the time that “the refrigerators were filled and they were going to embalm her.”

 

“They just wanted to know that it wasn’t going to be conflicting with any religious whatever,” he said.

 

“And now they are saying she was in the refrigerator as soon as they brought her here on Friday, so I don’t know.”

 

Peter said he told a woman inside the business that he wanted to “see what condition” the body was in, but “she told me to come back later.”

 

“I’m frustrated. This is ridiculous,” he said.

‘The smell was overwhelming’: DOZENS of decomposing corpses found in non-refrigerated trucks at New York funeral home

https://www.rt.com/usa/487306-brooklyn-decomposing-bodies-trucks/

 

Dozens of dead bodies were found inside moving trucks near a funeral home in New York City, discovered after neighbors complained of a sickening odor emanating from the vehicles, which may have stored the corpses for weeks.

Residents of Brooklyn’s Flatlands neighborhood had tried to ignore the stench, but on Wednesday police were finally called to investigate its source, stumbling upon 50 rotting corpses stacked inside four non-refrigerated trucks at the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home. Some residents told local media they’d noticed the odor for several weeks.

 

“They were unloading bodies. They had bodies all over the floor inside the funeral home. They came out one by one, blood dripping,” one local man told a New York CBS affiliate, adding that he saw funeral home workers moving the corpses without masks or gloves.

 

President of the Brooklyn borough, Eric Adams, said he arrived at the Cleckley facility on Wednesday evening to see what looked like a crime scene, with streets sealed off as officers inspected the trucks.

 

“It appears the truck was full. They were trying to use U-Haul as a backup” Adams said, adding: “This is traumatizing to family members.”

 

New York City has been the country’s worst-hit hotspot for Covid-19 for some time, seeing over 164,000 infections and some 18,000 deaths, according to data gathered by Johns Hopkins University. The health crisis has put abnormal strain on the city’s morgues and funeral homes, many of which are quickly running out of storage space for bodies. Though the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided refrigerated morgue trucks to deal with the excess deaths, some facilities are still struggling to cope with the influx of corpses.

 

The owner of the facility told authorities he had done his best to deal with the overwhelming flow of bodies, attempting to load the trucks with ice, but to little effect. Though he was slapped with two citations for the improper storage, the owner faces no criminal charges, according to NBC News.

 

Police say the bodies were transferred to a refrigerated vehicle later on Wednesday, but added it was not clear how many of the deceased had succumbed to the coronavirus, as opposed to other causes.

 

The coronavirus pandemic has claimed over 60,000 lives in the US, crossing the grim milestone of one million infections nationwide earlier this week. Though federal health officials have pointed to falling numbers in some of the country’s worst hotspots, the outbreak continues to inflict thousands of daily fatalities, with tens of thousands still contracting the virus each day.

Another simulation was conducted by the US Military in September 2019 called "Urban Outbreak 2019." Appendix III below provides a summary of the simulation.

 

Urban Outbreak 2019 report:

US Navy did a 2 day simulation of a viral pandemic in a fictional 21 million population last September. Their summary seems realistic. Naval War College "Urban Outbreak 2019" wargame scenario document is a 14 page pdf by Mr Davies. Appendix III provides a summary of the war game results and copied below. (published 4/01/2020)

Appendix III

 

Urban Challenges and Areas of Inquiry in Urban Outbreak 2019 Scenario

 

Round One: Outbreak

• Concept of employing informal public health providers in the response

• Concept of informal governance/security for access or mobility for vulnerable populations in key dense urban areas

• Establishing role of private security

• Determining differential access to resources based on social strata and location

• Assessment data from rural mountainous region

• Self-interested government officials and private sector actors

• Prostitution as a vector

• False information/suspicion concerning the outbreak and response

 

Round Two: Cascading Failures

• Loss of power, utilities, dockworkers, security, etc.

• Failure of existing medical system

• All other medical services severely affected

• Logistical capacity stretched for outbreak response purposes at the expense of all else

• Hoarding, theft, and black market becomes extremely lucrative

• Increased international military role

• Challenges for responder security and ROE for military

• Ambiguous role of the national government

• Role of informal transit for response

• Flight of populations

• Quarantine/roadblocks

• Mortuary affairs

• PPE and medical demand

 

Round Three: Cleanup Wish List

• Pre-transition change in priorities

• Engineering, heavy lift or logistics from international military before transition begins/departure

• Reviving broken livelihoods

• Mortuary affairs

• Refuse in urban areas

• Security - rise of gangs and religious groups

• Badly damaged infrastructure

• Hobbled workforce

• Extreme needs associated with fractured health system (public health emergencies associated with those failures)
