Families to remove corpses as Buea mortuary breaks down

Officials of the Buea Regional Hospital, have called on families with corpses at the hospital mortuary to come and retrieve them.

According to multiple reports, the population is called upon to come and retrieve the corpses of their loved ones because of the “a breakdown of the mortuary refrigerator.”

Speaking to The Post on Tuesday, October 11, one of the Mortuary Attendants, who refused to be named, said “the mortuary refrigerator got bad last week, and since then, “there has been no space to take in more corpses.”

Quizzed on the present state of the mortuary, he said “the mortuary is small. It can accommodate only 50 corpses, but the number of corpses brought to the mortuary now exceeds this number.”
