Police said Friday they have found at least 115 bodies at Colorado ‘green’ funeral home under investigation for improper handling of remains.
Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper said they are coordinating with other agencies to determine if there is any wrongdoing.
Authorities said Friday at the press conference they believe there is currently no health risk to the public. They declined to describe in detail the scene inside the 2,500-square-foot facility next door to the town’s post office, the size of an average U.S. home. Under Colorado law, green burials are legal but state code requires that any body not buried within 24 hours must be properly refrigerated.
Neighbor Ron Alexander thought the smell was coming from a septic tank, adding that Wednesday night’s blur of law enforcement lights “looked like the 4th of July.”
