[Asia Economy Reporter Nah Han-ah] As new coronavirus (COVID-19) cases surge in Italy, a video showing bodies scattered throughout hospital restrooms was released on the 12th (local time).

According to local media 'La Repubblica' and British media 'Daily Mail,' a video was released on the 11th showing a man found dead in a hospital restroom at Cardarelli Hospital, the largest hospital in southern Italy's Naples.

The video captured scenes of patients and excrement scattered throughout the hospital emergency room and restrooms. The filmer shouted, "This man is dead. This is Cardarelli Hospital emergency room," while filming a restroom inside the hospital. The body shown in the video was an 84-year-old man who reportedly died of a heart attack while waiting for treatment in the COVID-19 emergency ward.

The filmer then pointed to a woman collapsed on a hospital bed, explaining, "This woman is covered in excrement. It is unclear whether she is dead or alive."

There was also a woman carelessly thrown on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. The filmer said, "No one knows the condition of this woman."

The filmer, a 30-year-old man named Rosario Ramonica, had been hospitalized at the hospital for two days after experiencing suspected COVID-19 symptoms. He shared a hospital room with about ten other suspected patients.

He claimed to have filmed the video to expose what was happening there and submitted it as a report.

He pointed out, "When I found the elderly man who had a heart attack and asked for help, no one listened to me." He also said that some hospital staff told him to "mind your own business."
