Dana Crash: Bereaved Families Worry over Decomposing Bodies
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital(LASUTH), Ikeja
Families of those killed in the June 3 Dana Air plane crash are now finding it next to impossible to identify the bodies of the passengers and crew of the ill-fated plane deposited at the mortuary of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, as some of the bodies have started decomposing.
It was learnt Monday that some of the bodies are decomposing, despite being embalmed, due to what sources said was the degree of burns suffered by the victims in the plane crash before they died, adding that burnt bodies decay faster.
The situation has pitted the families against the hospital authorities that have now threatened to stop further release of bodies to the relatives until all the DNA tests are done and results released to properly link the bodies with those trying to claim them.
