"Gaza's Rising Death Toll: Bodies Stored in Unconventional Ice Cream Trucks"

Health officials in Gaza are storing the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes in ice cream freezer trucks due to the risks of moving them to hospitals and the shortage of space in cemeteries. The Israeli military has unleashed a fierce bombardment on Gaza in response to an attack by Hamas, resulting in a rising death toll. Hospitals are overwhelmed, running short of supplies, and struggling to cope with the increasing number of wounded. Mass graves are being prepared, and the situation is worsening as the war continues.

Lawsuit alleges cruise line left passenger's body to decompose in drink cooler.

The family of a man who died of a heart attack aboard a Celebrity Equinox ship has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the cruise line, claiming his body was improperly stored in a cooler instead of the ship's morgue, causing it to badly decompose. The family claims that if Celebrity had informed them of the out-of-service morgue, they could have chosen to get off in Puerto Rico with the body and potentially still have an open-coffin service. The lawsuit also claims that Celebrity's crew was reckless and careless, causing the family's injuries.

Cruise Company Sued Over Decomposed Body Stored in Cooler

A widow and her family are suing Celebrity Cruises for allegedly mishandling her husband's body after he died while they were on a ship last year, saying it was left to decompose and they suffered extreme emotional trauma. After Marilyn Jones' husband of 55 years, Robert Jones, died of a heart attack Aug. 15 onboard the Celebrity Equinox, his body was stored for nearly a week inside a walk-in cooler normally used for beverages instead of a properly chilled morgue as she was promised, according to the federal lawsuit filed in Florida.

Cruise Company Sued for Storing Passenger's Body in Drinks Cooler.

A widow is suing Celebrity Cruises for storing her husband's body in a cooler instead of the ship's morgue, causing it to decompose. The couple had just started an eight-day Caribbean cruise when the husband died of a heart attack. The cruise line presented the widow with two options: disembark with her husband's body in San Juan or have it stored in the ship's morgue until it returned to Florida six days later. The widow opted to remain with the ship, but when a funeral home worker and a sheriff's deputy came aboard to retrieve the body, they found it had been moved to a cooler and had decomposed. The widow and her family are seeking at least $1 million in damages.
