The John F. Kennedy Medical Center has informed the general public that it will conduct a mass burial of abandoned corpses in its mortuary within 48 hours.
According to the medical facility, most of the bodies that would be buried have spent at least eight months at the facility and are causing serious health issues for the hospital.
The hospital, in a release issued Wednesday, February 7, 2024, said, “These abandoned bodies are posing a serious health concern and embarrassment to the medical center.”
According to the release, mass burial will be conducted of all abandoned bodies by the end of business on Friday, February 9, 2024.
The facility’s management said it is encouraging anyone or all individuals who have bodies to report at the hospital’s Administration Building and request audience with the Deputy CEO for Administration, to obtain a clearance in order to remove the remains of their family.
The hospital passionately informed the public there would be no cost attach for removal of bodies.
“We just want people to claim the bodies of their loved ones to give them a befitting burial,” the release said.
“JFKMC will not be held liable for any bodies that have not been claimed by family or friends,” the management added.
