Authorities Called After Bodies Left to Decompose in Trucks On The Street
1.
News broke earlier today that nearly '100-bodies' had been found rotting in Uhaul trucks on the streets of Brooklyn. But what the sensationalist reports forgot to highlight in their headlines, was that the bodies, which only some lay in non-refrigerated trucks, were there because The Andrew Cleckley Funeral Home had put them there, and not out of negligence, but necessity.

Authorities called to the area after neighbors complained of a terrible smell coming from one the trucks, and according to CNN, someone had even seen "fluids dripping onto the street."

Authorities arrived and began loading the bodies out of the smaller Uhaul trucks and planning on getting the funeral a larger cold truck.

But it is hard to understate how badly the city and state prepared for the Coronavirus pandemic. And what should be the obvious, and access of cold trucks for storing bodies, falls to the way-side, leaving small funeral homes to fend for themselves by having to rent damn UHaul trucks to store the overflow. And the kicker, the one truck that wasn't refrigerated was being filled with ice, you know, because if they hadn't, the smell would have been even worse.
