It-s not a good time to die, especially at home. Families claim that it takes several hours, or worse, even days, before an ambulance can transport the dead to the hospital for an autopsy, or to get a death certificate.

Chandrakant Motiwala, 45, a resident of Agar Bazar in Dadar, breathed his last at his elder brother-s home, around 9.10 am on Saturday. While his brother, a tailor, tested positive for COVID-19, Motiwala, who was a heart patient and was suffering from hernia, died of an unidentified illness.
