quotes:
1. Looters are primarily looking for jewelry, gold teeth, and skeleton remains that can be sold for use in various rituals.
Damage at cemeteries is so widespread that workers can't keep up with repairing graves. Even historical figures like novelist and former Venezuelan president Rómulo Gallegos have had their graves looted.
2. Reports from local morgues last year revealed exploding corpses due to a lack of effective refrigeration. Most corpses placed in morgues quickly enter what is known as the emphysematous phase of decomposition,
where they can no longer contain the gases and putrid fluids accumulated inside and burst as a result.
