NEW YORK: Police were called to a Brooklyn neighborhood Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) after a funeral home, overwhelmed by the coronavirus crisis, resorted to storing dozens of cadavers of coronavirus patients on ice in rented trucks, officials said.

Investigators who responded to a 911 call by a passerby — who complained about the smell — found that the home had rented four trucks to hold about 50 corpses, according to a law enforcement official.
