The Nakuru War Memorial Hospital faced yet another challenge as a body mysteriously vanished from its morgue, casting a shadow over the already troubled facility. Matron Patricia Musale shed light on the perplexing situation, revealing that the deceased had been lodged in the hospital for the past six months amidst a contentious family dispute over burial rights.

According to a report by Nation, Musale disclosed that the deceased had initially been admitted for treatment at the hospital before being transferred to the mortuary. However, the prolonged stay of the body was exacerbated by an unpaid bill totalling KSh 921,000. Despite a court ruling favouring the deceased’s children to proceed with the burial, the accumulated debt remained unsettled, prolonging the body’s residency in the morgue.

“Since she passed away, the body has been lying at the mortuary,” Musale explained, detailing the efforts made to resolve the financial dispute. “The daughter had agreed that she would pay part of the mortuary bill and even entered into an agreement with the hospital lawyer. We even agreed to release the body after the court ruling, but nothing has been paid.”

How did the thieves get away with the body from Nakuru War Memorial Hospital?

Confirming the alarming disappearance, Nakuru West Sub County Police Commander Francis Wahome expressed his readiness to receive updates from his team on the ground. The circumstances surrounding the theft added to the intrigue, with Musale revealing that Umash Funeral Home had reported receiving a body without an original burial permit. Furthermore, witnesses purportedly spotted members of the deceased’s family at the scene during the incident.

In a daring move, the thieves reportedly attempted to relocate the body to the Nakuru Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary after breaking into the morgue. However, their plans were thwarted as the management refused to accommodate the unauthorized transfer, forcing the culprits to seek an alternative solution at Umash Funeral Home.

The involvement of the county government added another twist to the saga, as the deceased’s daughter claimed they had been coerced to remove the body before the government deactivated the mortuary’s machines. This development hinted at a broader issue plaguing the healthcare institution, raising questions about accountability and security measures.

As authorities delve deeper into the puzzling disappearance, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing not only Nakuru War Memorial Hospital but also the broader healthcare system. The unresolved dispute over the unpaid bill underscores the need for transparent and efficient mechanisms to handle such delicate matters, ensuring dignity and respect for the deceased and their families.
