Morgue
A morgue or mortuary is a building or room (as in a hospital) used for the storage of human remains.
There are two types of morgue cold chambers:
Positive temperature 36/39°F (+2/+4°C): This is the most common type, used for keeping the bodies a few days or weeks. Decomposition of the corpse continues at a reduced rate.
Negative temperature -5/-13°F (-15°C/-25°C): This is used by forensic institutes for the storage of bodies that have not yet been identified. The body is completely frozen, halting decomposition.
