The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s management on Tuesday disclosed that it will be reviewing its current contract that deals with pest control. The move comes in the wake of the recent defacement of a corpse stored at the facility’s mortuary.
Immediately after publication of the incident, GPHC’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael Khan, disclosed that an investigation had been launched.
This newspaper reported that the remains of slain 20-year-old Sulé Brian Assanah were discovered with a gaping hole where his nose should have been. The discovery was made by father of the deceased, Brian William Assanah, during a visit to the hospital’s mortuary. Reports are that rats were the cause of the corpse’s disfigurement.
It is believed that the rodents were able to access the corpse through a number of holes in the refrigerator.
Staffers of the hospital had informed this publication of a rat infestation at the facility. They claimed that this was not a unique occurrence. The employees said that there was, at the time, nothing to prevent the rodents since the mortuary itself needed a better sanitizing system.
One staffer speculated that the rats may have entered the mortuary refrigerator through the drain pipes.
