Hell is not full, but Chicago is.

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.

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.
