Dead bodies stored in cupboards on the Tube
The bodies of people who commit suicide on the London Underground network are often stored in cleaning cupboards and store rooms until an undertaker can collect them, a new documentary has revealed.
Around 50 people a year kill themselves on the London Underground, equating to approximately one every week.
As well as the tragedy for the individual and their families, suicides on the Tube can create hours of chaos and disruption for millions of other passengers.
So to try to get the transport network up and running as soon as possible bodies are often moved to a secure room within the station until they can be taken away by an undertaker.
The shocking revelation was made by London Underground staff on a new documentary about the Tube.
