The funeral house was using leased trucks to save bodies, officials state.
Lots of bodies have actually been discovered kept in moving trucks in New york city, authorities state, after passersby experienced the smell.
The Andrew T Cleckley Funeral Service Home in Brooklyn had leased trucks and put about 50 corpses inside with ice.
One official priced estimate anonymously in the New York Times said the home’s freezer had quit working.
Authorities were contacted us to the scene and sealed the location. A refrigerated truck later on got here.
Workers in protective suits were later on seen moving bodies.
It is uncertain if these were victims of the coronavirus. Officials and funeral houses have actually struggled to cope with the big numbers of dead in New York, the worst-affected state in the US.
More than 18,000 people have actually died in New York City alone, according to Johns Hopkins University information. As a whole, the US has more than one million confirmed cases of coronavirus, more than any other country.
