    THE MORTUARY MAN DESERVED TO BE SACKED.THESE ARE THE SAME MORTUARY MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH CORPSES.

  • Sala 7 years ago

    You could easily do what the mortuary man did - you'ld have become callous to human life just like army spray bullets on others during war.

    Without supporting his action, I would say it was very MEAN of the family to have ...

    It's sad which ever way but he was only doing job. It's very clear that the the family was trying to get away without paying. But is this where the authorities can show their power to a Mortuary man? I hope they act the same ...

    The hospital authorities took a silly decision. Even at the cemetery there should have being some contributions to avoid such act. If they can dress tge body why did they give it out?

  • KnYc(USMC) 7 years ago

    Our backward country without free education and our ability to respect the LAW will continue to move backward. So the pastor,eleders and all the people standing there could not afford to contribute 40 Ghs?

  • Kay 7 years ago

    1.was the ¢40 an approved Hospital fee?
    2.how did he feel for the bereaved family as they watch their loved one being denigrated.
    3.it is possible that for a large Family, somebody would've thought the other had paid.

    The whole thing is too morbid . The police should have acted as this would give nightmares to any normal human being who sees such a thing. The guy should have been beaten up before opening the thing.
    Having his own thing o ...

    Injustice against d mortuary man. He should take it to court. Is it easy to do that work? Stupid management

  • Oyarifa 7 years ago

    Agreed. The hospital is just bullying the guy. I have a feeling they are just trying to clear their name from the public. They may call the guy back. There aren't too many brave men in Ghana who can do what mortuary man does.

  • Benjie 7 years ago

    Not surprised at all!! In an era of seizures of Cars, why not corpses? Anybody can just go round seizing anything. Lawlessness everywhere. How I wish the corpse will just slap someone for sanity to prevail!Hmmmmm!

  • TKD 5 7 years ago

    1. Who at the hospital authorises for corpse to be released?
    2.Who is responsible for the collection of fees?
    3.Who supervises the work of the mortuary man?
    4. Was he supposed to be on duty the day of the incident?
    5.Was ...

    All the men who were present at that time did no good to the deceased. Those mortuary men should have been beaten mercilessly. In fact,it was nonsense for those mortuary men to do that thing.

  • hahahahahaha 7 years ago

  • Moari 7 years ago

  • Sid 7 years ago

  • Mama Luu 7 years ago

  • Asem Beba Dabi 7 years ago

    They weren't patronising the streets of tema ????????????????. From the hospital to the cemetery is just a few metres. Maybe 200m

  • Seidu, Ashiaman 7 years ago

    This decision if true is very harsh. That man affectionately called "da dinn" (sleep well) does his work diligently. Maybe he had many strikes and this was the last straw that broke the camels back.
