Another day of anguish for those who expected the release of bodies at the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML), in Santo Amaro. The standoff between coroners, which came into operation standard since last Friday, and the state government remains, leading family members already go through the pain of losing a loved one to complete despair. Yesterday, the stench of the corpses could be felt outside the institute. Unofficially, 35 were awaiting release, still some of last Friday. On account of the accusations a dossier published by the Regional Medical Council of Pernambuco (Cremepe), which showed pictures of the poor conditions in place, the state government began yesterday even further improvements such as painting rooms of the building.
The Public Prosecutor of Pernambuco (MPPE) has entered the case. Yesterday, Attorney General of Justice, Fenelon Aguinaldo, asked the Cremepe review a decision requiring doctors to not perform autopsies (a test that determines the cause of death), because of the ethical prohibition of IML. The measure would take effect tomorrow. But Fenelon asked to extend the deadline until next Monday, when the government promised to meet 80% of the claims made by Cremepe. Cremepe's board will meet tomorrow night to decide whether accepts the proposal. The day 'D' will set the course of police investigations in the state. 'Without the performance of autopsies, some homicides go unpunished. That can not happen ', called the head of MPPE.
The attorney met with representatives of Cremepe of Pernambuco Association of Medical Examiners and Bar Association of Brazil (OAB-SP). Fenelon said he will personally next Monday to evaluate the conditions of the IML. The general secretary of Cremepe, Luis Dominguez, said the state government has made an extraordinary meeting on the night of Tuesday to discuss the situation in the morgue and try to close a deal. The government promised that by next Wednesday, all complaints regarding the maintenance of IML will be served, except those that require construction. For this to be fulfilled, the hypothesis was shown without bidding. The government will invest $ 2 million in emergency reforms.
The Diario came into contact with the secretaries who were at the meeting, but they would not speak.

Strangely, the Secretary of Social Defense, Wilson Damazio, was not invited to the meeting at the office of Alencar. The IML is under its responsibility.
The meeting came on the same day that the Cremepe released a dossier of images of the poor conditions of the morgue, with bodies thrown on the floor, lots of blood on the walls and lack of hygiene. For families of victims of violence, the drama remains. 'This situation is terrible. My niece died on Sunday and so far (yesterday) we do not know when the funeral. We learned, for employees, that the cooling of the rooms is not good. The corpse is decomposing. It is very sad to bury a relative in these conditions', she confided Alex de Araujo Lima, the uncle of a 27 year old female who took his own life in the center of Jaboatao dos Guararapes.

"Without the performance of autopsies, some crimes may go unpunished, since it does not define the cause of death" Aguinaldo Fenelon, Attorney General of State for Justice
