Venezuela's Murder Epidemic Rages On Amid Protests

At the Bello Monte morgue in Caracas, the smell of death reeks out from the buildings to the surrounding streets and to the dozens of people waiting on the sidewalks to collect the corpses of their loved ones.

Every half hour or so, ambulances arrive with new corpses, the vast majority of them homicide victims.
