Every year dozens of people die in the subway: some people pass away in accidents, some of them shorten their lives under the wheels of trains, and there are those who die of natural causes. Just last year, the new York subway system there were about 50 such cases.
Have you ever wondered what happens to their remains? According to the report, the police station should pack them in special bags and move away from human eyes until the arrival of forensic experts. As a rule, they have to wait from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
All this time the bodies are in the back rooms, namely living rooms and baths. Outraged the neighborhood subway employees require from their workplace to stop the morgue.
In some cases, unexpected findings cause not only do they have a shock stumbling on the remains, people get hurt.
Last year alone, the transit workers Union have received over a dozen complaints. «Metro should not become a temporary morgue in new York,» says Association President John Samuelsen.
«The utility room is a place where people rest, eat and keep their things», — agrees the representative of the Minister Derick Echevarria.
Is it likely that the authorities will fix the situation?
Transportation authority (MTA) has forwarded the issue to the City Council. In turn, the authority has increased the number of forensic scientists so they can work quickly.
