Recently, it was revealed that a Shanghai aged care center sent a living person to a funeral home as the deceased. Shanghai authorities have admitted the incident, but could not quell the public outrage.
On May 1, a video of a person in a body bag being transferred from the New Long March Welfare Institute in Shanghai went viral on the Internet. The video shows a hearse parked at the entrance of the aged care center in Baoshan District, Shanghai, and two men who appeared to be funeral personnel in protective clothing pulling out a person in a yellow body bag from the vehicle.
