Bodies Doubled Up Again At Cook County Morgue
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Cook County Morgue is once again double-stacking bodies on trays in its cooler.
As WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller reports, at least 30 trays are being stacked on the cooler at the county Medical Examiner’s Office, 2121 W. Harrison St.
“We should’ve had a burial in September but we didn’t,” said county Medical Examiner Dr. Nancy Jones.
There are several reasons why no burial happened, Jones said.
One reason is that the plain wood coffins for unclaimed bodies, which the Medical Examiner’s office calls burial shells, may be on back order.
Dr. Jones did not dispute the number WBBM Newsradio got from sources, that 30 trays in the cooler have two bodies on them.
‘We’re a little full right now,’ she said.
‘You only put two very thin bodies – in opposite directions’ on a tray, Jones said.”
