Hundreds of bodies unclaimed after French heatwave
As many as 400 unidentified or abandoned bodies, some in refrigerated trucks, awaited temporary burial today outside Paris as authorities struggled to cope with the fall-out from France’s deadly heat wave.
More than 100 bodies sat in refrigerated trucks outside a city-run warehouse in the southern suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine, reports said. City officials vowed to bury them – whether families claimed them or not.
