‘Horrific’: 189 bodies found and removed from Colorado ‘green’ funeral home
theguardian.com
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”.

Preparing and burying your own is a recipe for cholera outbreak
Easy fix: don't bury people, just leave the bodies out in the open so scavengers can do their job.
Sky burial!
I unironically would love a sky burial. Vultures can digest anything. Chop me up, drive me out to the mountains and let the vultures shit me out. Seems better than the alternatives.
Great, now we have prions
We already have microplastics coming down with the rain, what's a few prions on top of that.
braaaaaiiiinnnzzzzzzz 🧟♂️
Idk why this killed me
Yeah prions do that
scavengers would die of toxicity from NSAIDs, chemo drugs, and whatever else modern humans load up on before their death. This already happened in places known for sky burials
GOOD point
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.
