Cadavers Explode in Venezuela's Neglected Morgues
PanAm Post ^ | October 7, 2016 | Orlando AvendaƱo

Wednesday October 5, several patients of the University Hospital Antonio Patricio de Alcalá (Huapa) had to evacuate after a body exploded in the morgue after two days of decomposition.

The incident was reportedly caused by faulty storage facilities.

“It’s not the first time that a body exploded,” said one worked. “It has already occurred two times since the middle of September. We don’t use formaldehyde here, so the preparation of the bodies is in the hand of the funerary. There are no disinfectants or chlorine either.”

With apologies to Dave Barry:

“Exploding Cadavers” would be a great name for a punk rock band.

Maduro’s diet gets you hard – no need for Viagra!

Rigor mortis makes you hard, too, mr. president.

My momma informed me that I was NOT going to be
incinerated after my death. She said that’s what the
heathen do to their dead. (My husband decided; but I
think he was just thinking about the cost of a funeral.)
So, I got a life insurance policy that should take care of
my funeral. Husband did also as I told him I would not
allow him to be incinerated if he died before I did.
Son also is in a church that pushes getting burned up
after death and ashes being stuck in an urn. I told him
no dice and he was visibly relieved.

Mother has been gone almost 20 yrs. now. I buried both her
and my dad as they wished in every respect. - My aunt
also did not want to be incinerated. We bought her a wig
for appearance sake in her coffin. She was in her 90’s.

I guess I don’t get vaults; but both my parents wanted
vaults so I got them vaults and nice caskets.

This is a hard subject; but it is reality and if the Lord
tarries, we all face it.

My grandfather died in Mexico City in 1976. There were two alternatives: he could be cremated, or Mexican officials would have to search his corpse/body cavities for drugs (and I believe it would be done again by DEA/Customs Agents when the body was received in NYC, since the Cartels routinely used corpses to ship illegal narcotics). They went with cremation over such an indignity.

Of course and I can see their point. People do what they
have to do in different situations. (Also, in tragedies
such as 9/11 and airplane crashes, cremation just is an
unavoidable result.)
