According to locals, the man in the photo passed away three days earlier.

The family had been calling to have his body removed but no burial team came to dispose of the body.

People afraid that it was an Ebola death, wearing rubber gloves, dragged his body onto the busy street, stopping traffic, and drawing attention to have the body removed.
