Authorities find more bodies after initial report of 115 two weeks ago, when owners were evicted and police investigated foul odor
The remains of at least 189 decaying bodies were found and removed from a Colorado funeral home, up from about 115 reported when the bodies were discovered two weeks ago, officials said Tuesday.
The remains were found by authorities responding to a report of a foul odor at the Return to Nature funeral home inside a decrepit building in the small town of Penrose, Colorado.
Efforts to identify the remains began last week with help from an FBI team that gets deployed to mass casualty events like airline crashes. Fremont sheriff Allen Cooper described the scene as “horrific”.
But with what population density? I’m imagining NYC or LA county looking very different, lol.
Probably not good for New York, but it doesn’t spread disease where it’s practiced, which was my point.
That’s fair. Personally, I’m all for donate organs to save people -> body to science -> (cremation of remains ashes to family OR industrial/forest compost). It scales and solves problems.
Bodies for science usually ends up with the military buying the corpse and then testing out ordinance.
I’m not kidding.
You can specify the organization to receive your body, though some have prescreening.
Generally speaking, bodies donated to science don’t end up being tested with ordinance. The consent waiver limits how the body can be used and is generally narrowed to medical research. One example where this didn’t happen was here and the company founder was tried for fraud.
My suggestion for people is to find an organization that directly accepts donated bodies and go through their prescreening to bypass the body broker business.
