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”.

      It’s one funeral home. The US certainly has its problem, but you should relax a bit.

        This is the only nursing home with piles of corpses isn’t quite the argument in favour of your country not being a shit hole you think it is.

        Just ignore the rampant school shootings, the racially motivated violence of police against citizens not breaking any laws and the wannabe autocratic dictator who incited a mob to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power that your justice system seems terrified of holding accountable.

        If we ignore all of these “just one thing” issues then everything is fine.

      That would require the US to leave NATO and become Switzerland tier neutral.

      Oh, you meant the racist way people who’ve never been to the “third world” say “third world.”
