Relatives of a dead man in Tartagal, Salta,
broke into a morgue to take the body
as they reported that they had been diagnosed with coronavirus and were going to cremate it, but they wanted to watch over it.
In the video that went viral, it is seen how the group of people
despair to get the body in the box of a truck
, and then quickly leave the place.
As reported by the local
El Tribuno
, the morgue is the Juan Domingo Perón hospital.
Ramón Juárez suffered from heart problems
and began to feel ill on Thursday.
After being treated urgently and hospitalized, he was discharged on Friday and taken again to that hospital where he finally died on Saturday night.
"We had to remove my father because they threatened to cremate him. My father worked for years to get me to get him out of the morgue," one of the daughters told the local newspaper, in a clear state of emotional crisis and tears.
"They are all criminals. I had to bring him to my house to be able to watch over him. I only asked the doctor for five minutes nothing more. They did not listen to me, I spoke to him, I begged him as a daughter," she continued her story.
And he continued:
"My father is not a dog to be burned
. He entered because he had arrhythmia in his heart. My father did not have COVID-19, he died of respiratory arrest."
The situation is still unclear and the institutions did not issue a statement.
The truth is that the unusual situation was recorded in a video that soon became viral and generated a scandal.
