A corpse in a body bag was left lying in the middle of a busy junction after falling out the back of a hearse.
The footage was recorded in San Antonio de Padua in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In the video, the black body bag can be seen on the carriageway at a cross-section of road as dozens of cars attempt to edge past it.
One man in the background can be heard laughing as he says: ‘The deceased fell.’
The driver of the hearse then comes back into sight from the left-hand side of the screen after realising that his cargo is missing.
He reverses closer toward it with the boot wide open in an attempt to retrieve it.
One of the men then gets out of the vehicle and hurries toward the stretcher that the body is rested on.

A police officer, who has been watching on, jogs out into the road help him raise the stretcher off the ground.
The corpse is rolled back toward the car before a third man joins to manoeuvre it back inside and the video ends shortly afterwards.
Residents have repeatedly complained about the state of the road in that area but it is unclear why the body fell from the hearse, according to local media reports.
The footage was shared online where social media users were quick to comment.

One, Roxana Garay, commented: ‘It looks like a comedy movie. I hope the poor family was not told how their relative was treated.’
Another, Mary Medina, said: ‘Thank God it was dead! What a lack of responsibility.’
It is unclear if the body was being taken to a funeral and it has not been identified in reports.
