Bodies found decomposing for up to 80 DAYS at NHS hospitals due to ‘lack of freezer space’

BODIES have been left to rot in at least a dozen NHS hospitals, according to damning reports of mortuary conditions.

Morgues around the country had too little freezer space, kept bodies too warm and hung on to them for too long, an investigation found.

A number of the bodies began to decompose while still in the hospital and one had still not been put into a freezer after 84 days, or 12 weeks.
