Macabre incident: They buried another dead person instead of their grandfather by mistake in the hospital

A macabre mistake of the services of the Ptolemaida hospital, resulted in the burial of the relatives of an elderly woman instead of the elderly grandfather who died of covid. The incident took place in the municipal district of East Eordea and was published on social media by the family member Dimitris Kynigopoulos, who stated that we had to “proceed with the exhumation process so that the woman’s relatives can pick up their man and we then bury our own man. “

According to the commander of the hospital, Stavros Papasotiriou, “the employees handling these issues realized their mistake and immediately informed the funeral home that had received the body.” They found, however, that the relatives had proceeded with the burial, as a result of which the permission of the Police and the prosecutor’s office was needed in order to exhume the woman and to correct the mistake.

Mr. Papasotiriou stated to APE-MPE that “a SOP has been ordered in order to identify and attribute the responsibilities for the mistake that afflicted two families”.
