A repatriation flight from New York entered Argentina last Saturday with the embalmed body of a 91-year-old man who had died from Covid-19.
The remains of Elijah Masri They traveled in an Aerolineas Argentinas ship together with their family, which integrated a total of 243 Argentine passengers who were stranded in the US.
The coffin was hermetically sealed, so a possible spread of the virus was ruled out, but in the same way a judicial investigation was opened for possible irregularities on this arrival.
Aerolineas Argentinas accused that his relatives adulterated information to transfer the body, since the first documentation sheet indicated a “natural death”, but in the rest of the file there was talk of respiratory failure by Covid-19.
The victim has lived in the United States since 1998, and died of coronavirus on April 7, but could not be cremated as recommended in these cases, because he practiced the Jewish religion, so his family decided to embalm him.
In the first instance, Masri’s family intended that the coffin arrive on a private flight.
