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”.
Cholera more requires the living and untreated water. Palestine is a recipe for a cholera outbreak. You’d need some spread among the living before the corpses become a real vector.
E coli maybe, but once again, only with untreated water.
For the most part, corpses don’t really spread a lot of disease other than whatever killed them.
