The suspicion of trying to cover up the body of an employee who died in an accident while working in a Chinese factory was loaded in the trunk of a car and not informed to the bereaved in time became controversial.
According to Chinese media such as the Global Times and Sangyeowoo newspaper on the 29th, Wang Mo, a worker at a cement factory in Liyang, Jiangsu Province, suffered an accident on December 31st last year.
However, such news did not reach the bereaved families, and the bereaved family inquired about whereabouts because it was strange that Wang, who was on duty during the day, did not return home until late at night and the cell phone was turned off.
The bereaved said, “I called one of the factory managers, and I kept stuttering. After making a few consecutive bottles, I said my father was in the hospital,” he said.
He said, “The factory did not keep telling the truth, but when they kept pushing, they said that the father’s body was in the trunk of the car.”
The bereaved family exclaimed, “I found out that the accident has passed 10 hours later,” and “Why did the factory not immediately notify you, didn’t tell the truth? What are you trying to hide?”
The bereaved family tried to take the body home, but the factory moved the body to the mortuary of the funeral home without the consent of the bereaved family.
The bereaved family said, “I contacted the factory several times after 10 days of the incident, but I could not reach it,” he said. “I asked for a death certificate from the police box and cremated the body to saddle the body.”
The bereaved family claimed that there was no comfort from the factory until the end of the month of the incident, and the initial investigation by the police box was unreliable.
According to a police box investigation, it is said that the deceased had an accident while working, was transferred to a hospital, and died after treatment. If rescue was done, the body could not be carried in the trunk.
Wang’s daughter was announced on the 26th through Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter), and interviews with the bereaved family were also reported.
Accordingly, the authorities of Liyang city announced on the 27th that they formed an incident investigation team and ordered safety maintenance while stopping production activities at the plant.
In addition, the factory apologized to the bereaved family and demanded that they be properly followed up.
