Following a public outcry after a senior citizen was mistaken for dead by personnel at an assisted living facility and sent to the morgue, Shanghai authorities fired or reprimanded at least 6 people, according to SCMP.

The district government of Putuo confirmed the error and announced an investigation. It later said four officials, a care home director, and a doctor had been fired or reprimanded.
