Corpses are stacked two to a tray at Chicago's Cook County morgue due to so many people dying | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1228281 United States 01/13/2011 07:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hell is not full, but Chicago is. [link to dailyherald.com] Some bodies double-bunked at Cook morgue Cook County Medical Examiner Nancy Jones is blaming a confluence of unusual circumstances for causing the morgue to become so crowded recently that bodies were being doubled up on some cooler trays. Jones attributed the overcrowding to a “collision” of factors: a spike in deaths during the recent holidays, a slow down in pickups from funeral homes in late December and early January and a delay in receiving coffins to hold the remains of the indigent. Advertisement In addition, burial of the indigent scheduled for November didn't take place because of poor weather, likely adding to the situation at the morgue. Sick. |
