Cops get flak for corpses on city streetsPolice have appealed for public understanding amid outcry over the delay in collecting a body, one of three, found in the streets in Phra Nakhon district on Tuesday night. Two had contracted Covid-19 with test results pending on the third, Metropolitan Police Bureau spokesman Piya Tawichai said. They tried in vain to revive the man, prompting the police to call forensic experts from Vajira Hospital to examine the body. The Por Teck Tung foundation collected the body at 10pm and brought it to Vajira Hospital for an autopsy. The forensic team from the Police General Hospital arrived to collect the body at 9pm.
