   As the bodies began to pile up inside a Brooklyn nursing home,   
   the staff was reportedly given specific directions: Turn up the   
   air conditioner and open the windows to keep the smell of death   
   from spreading.   
      
   Outraged community leaders joined staffers Tuesday outside the   
   Linden Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, where   
   demonstrators complained as many as 10 bodies were stored in an   
   unrefrigerated fourth floor dementia unit where the dead reside   
   among the living — and ailing residents are reportedly free to   
   wander.   
      
   “It could be your family members,” said certified nursing   
   assistant Hilory McDonald, speaking outside the front entrance.   
   “They’re telling (a female staffer) to go in and check the   
   temperature in the room for dead bodies. She’s saying she never   
   went to school for that.   
      
   "She doesn’t know what temperature a dead body is supposed to be   
   kept at.”
