Funeral Home Owner Sentenced for Stashing Nearly 200 Bodies

A Colorado funeral home owner has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after admitting to stashing nearly 190 decaying bodies at his facility. This horrific case has raised severe concerns regarding the handling of deceased individuals and led to multiple charges of fraud. The sentencing also reflects broader implications, as an Oklahoma man was similarly sentenced to 20 years for COVID-19 relief fraud related to this case. Victims and their families spoke at the sentencing, expressing their outrage and distress over the abuse of trust at the funeral home.
