Chilling topic: Morgue
UK: A grandmother froze to death after waking up in a body-bag in a mortuary freezer. Maria de Jesus Arroyo, 80, was found upside-down in a half-unzipped body-bag by workers with facial injuries as she desperately tried to escape.
A pathologist later ruled that she hadn’t died from a heart attack, as doctors had earlier stated, but from asphyxiation and hypothermia while in the morgue. Her family’s lawyer Scott Schutzman said, “This case keeps me awake at night.
She was put into that body bag while she was alive. “The cold from the hospital morgue woke her up, and she was fighting her way out when she died.” See also: The naked truth of life in remand “She must have got the wounds while she was fighting, while she was on her way out, and that’s why they found her upside down.”
Her family is now suing the hospital in Los Angeles over the death, which happened in summer 2010. However, a spokesman for the White Memorial Medical Center denied making any mistakes.
He added, “We followed all proper protocols in this matter and are confident that once the facts of the case are reviewed, we will prevail in court.”
