A grieving Harlem food truck owner was forced to ice her husband’s corpse Saturday as she searched for someone to retrieve his body, several hours after he died from suspected coronavirus.
Tami Treadwell, 57, slammed the city after Gregory Anthony Treadwell’s remains were left in the home by emergency responders, with the city medical examiner’s office telling her it could take “three hours to three days” to pick them up.
“This is our city, and we’re being treated like s–t!” wailed Treadwell, owner of Harlem Seafood Soul.
“It’s grossly inhumane. I say shame on you Mayor de Blasio … you got to designate somebody to come get these bodies out of here, people who died at home. How dare you make us have to deal with that and to live with the body for days? How dare you, Mayor de Blasio? And you can’t blame that s–t on Trump. You can’t blame that s–t on Cuomo!” Treadwell cried.
Morgues and funeral homes have been overwhelmed by demand as the city’s coronavirus death toll mounts.
“We are still here. His body is still here. We have had to put ice on him, and we don’t know what to do,” she told The Post around noon Saturday.
The family called more than 20 funeral homes before Nesbitt in Englewood, New Jersey agreed to take the body around 2 p.m.
Gregory Treadwell, 62, was a hard-working tractor-trailer driver for Nathel & Nathel produce delivery company, and a father of four kids ranging in age from 9 to 37, Treadwell said.
“He had a cold for five days. He came home yesterday with a temperature. We talked to the doctor, and the doctor said don’t go to the hospital. Stay home,” his wife said. “He has been working this whole time delivering things. He didn’t even want to stay home, because they need him so much at work.”

Treadwell, known as the “seafood queen of Harlem,” was filmed hysterically retelling the ordeal from the sidewalk early Saturday.
“This is the worst thing that has ever happened,” she said, crying.
She saw Gregory alive with her daughter Tamouri — whose name is a combination of Gregory’s and Tami’s — just hours before his death.
“We gave him hot tea, hot everything,” Treadwell cried. “I just left him at 7 p.m. I heard his voice. He said he was fine.”
The NYPD was called to the 149th Street apartment around 4:30 a.m. on a report of shots fired, police said. When cops arrived, they found an unresponsive man inside, but no gunshot wounds. EMS workers were called to the scene and performed CPR.
The family denied anyone reported shots being fired.
