The department’s forensic pathology services in Gauteng have 938 unclaimed and unidentified bodies across their 11 mortuaries.“There are families who have been looking for their loved ones not knowing where they are. We encourage them to visit FPS mortuaries to check if their loved ones are not part of the unclaimed bodies, and if that is the case, they can give them a proper burial,” she said.

The other mortuaries include Germiston with 127, Sebokeng with 94, Ga-Rankuwa with 69, Springs and Diepkloof with 49 bodies each, Carletonville with 45, Roodepoort with 38, Heidelberg with nine and Bronkhorstspruit with eight unidentified and unclaimed bodies.
