Covered with just a sheet of plastic, the corpse of a suspected Ebola victim lies on the dirt in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.
A woman suspected of having the deadly virus sits nearby.
Residents here are furious over the government's slow response to properly bury the body, breaking into clashes with police.
Local law enforcement officials urge residents not take matters into their own hands, but to call the local emergency number to ensure medical teams can be deployed in such cases.
Eventually, crews from a Red Cross burial team arrived to remove the body.
Locals say their calls for help have not been heard, and that the body has been sitting for two days.
Sierra Leone is at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak hitting West Africa, which has killed nearly 4,500 since March.
