Over 20 bodies brought to CDO landfill for identification
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines—More than 20 bodies, most of which were decomposing, were brought to the sanitary landfill in Barangay (village) Upper Carmen here for identification.
Senior Superintendent Jesus Vinluan, chief of regional crime laboratory office, said the bodies were brought to the landfill as it would be easier for the medico-legal team led by Dr. Carl Christian Caballes, to do identification procedures rather than in already-filled morgues.
The bodies, which were unclaimed from various funeral homes here, were already bloated and were reeking offensive smell.
Vinluan could not say if the bodies would be buried in a mass grave after proper identification had been made.
