Hospital Locks Up Man In Mortuary To Teach Him a Lesson  

As a way of teaching him a lesson over allegedly causing commotion, a man taking care of his sick has been locked up in the hospital mortuary.

The shocking incident has left many wondering whether that was the best way to react, even if the man in question was truly causing commotion.

Not only did the hospital security, on the instruction of the nurse on duty, push Chanda Musonda into the mortuary full of dead bodies, they thereafter switched off the light on him.

The victim was nursing his wife in Ward G22 of the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) Lusaka when the incident happened.

A report in the Zambian Observer, described the man as being traumatized after the incident.

In a reaction, UTH Public Relations Officer, Natalie Mashikolo reportedly described the mortuary as a secure place with restricted access.

According to her, the action of the hospital staffers in forcing Musonda into the mortuary and later switching off the light meant one was compromising the mortuary and damaging the reputation of the institution.
