The family members of an 86-year-old COVID-19 patient who died at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Ernakulam, on September 14 have alleged that the body was found infested with maggots when it was taken for cremation.
Kunjumon, a resident of Kunnathunad, was admitted at the hospital on September 5. The family members alleged that he was not given proper treatment at the hospital despite his poor health condition.
