However, while preparing for the cremation, relatives of Komuramma noticed that it was not her body and informed the matter to the MGM management. Following this, the staff at the hospital found that they made a ‘mistake’ and informed the kin of Komuramma to return the body and take Komuramma’s body. Komuramma is survived by three sons and four daughters. She was infected by the COVID about 10 days ago and admitted to MGM Hospital for treatment.
