NEW YORK - At least seventeen bodies of coronavirus victims were reportedly discovered jammed into a make-shift nursing home morgue in Andover, New Jersey.
Police were tipped off to the bodies being improperly stored at the Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center, including one body reportedly being stored in a shed.
13 of the bodies were moved from a "holding area" on Monday, according to the NJ Herald. No bodies were found in the shed. “They were just overwhelmed by the number of people who were expiring,” Andover Police Chief Eric Danielson told the NY Times.
Five bodies were found on Easter Sunday and 13 the next day. There have been at least 68 recent deaths at the facility including two nurses.
