Recently, it was reported on the Internet that when a nursing home in Shanghai was preparing to send the “corpse” of an old man to a funeral home for cremation, the funeral home staff saw that the body bag was moving, only to reveal that the old man still had vital signs. In the early morning of Monday, the internal media learned from the New Long March Welfare Institute and the Civil Affairs Bureau of Putuo District involved that there was indeed such a thing.
According to the report, people in the nearby community found out when the incident happened, and they took pictures of the situation and reprimanded loudly. The old man was sent by the nursing home to the funeral home to transport the corpse, but when the funeral home staff opened the yellow cloth and found that the old man was still moving, they quickly confirmed, “I see! It’s alive!” However, the nursing home staff insisted on covering the old man with the yellow cloth, and the funeral home staff saw this. Immediately stopped him, saying “don’t cover him anymore” and sent him back to the hospital.
At present, the old man has been transferred to the hospital for treatment, and his vital signs have stabilized. The Putuo District Civil Affairs Bureau stated that it has quickly established a joint investigation team with relevant departments to enter the new Long March Welfare Institute.
