Controversy over missing corpse at UCH17.12.2009There was a drama at the University College hospital (UCH), Ibadan Oyo State, over a missing corpse of a woman that her relations came to collect from the hospital’s morgue.The drama, which occurred late Wednesday afternoon, arose when a family came to claim a corpse and the corpse handed over to the members of the woman’s family was not the one they had initially deposited at the morgue.It was gathhered that the corpse, brought by the family, was a female who had undergone a caesarian operation, before her death, but had been taken away by another family in November for burial.Rather than collect the corpse of another woman the family members insisted that the hospital should produce their own corpse for proper burial.According to the eyewitness, the mix-up arose because the names of the two dead women were similar and the fact that the identity of the collected corpse was not ascertained before it was buried by her family.By Sade Oguntola
