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

It’s been practiced by Tibetans and Mongols for centuries.
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.
NY could probably get away with dumping them down the sewers for the giant rats to eat.
Why don’t we eat them or throw them in those huge car crushers and make a YouTube channel of it.
Tibetans and mongols don’t invest the same toxic chemicals and plastics Americans do, they also don’t need to bury a thousand people a day like America does
Is your idiot brain getting fucked by stupid
I can’t hear you over the sound of ur mom

The fediverse is largely positive. Let’s keep it that way
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.
