"In August, investigators found 24 decomposing bodies behind a cardboard door at the funeral home Cotter owns with his brother, Chris. Local12 reported that some of the bodies-which were supposed to be cremated-had been there for at least 15 years. Cotter also "admitted that he may have" given some families some fake cremated remains. The uncertainty is honestly funny."
"Grahek was named interim on September 2-after Cotter submitted his resignation letter-and he's reportedly been busy trying to restore trust, hence the "Family-Friendly" Halloween party, which his office announced on Facebook on October 14, writing: "Wear a costume (mom and dad included!) and hit the dusty trail. Enjoy treats and games and spooky times with family and friends!" Damn you, Cotter."
Dr. Greg Grahek became interim county coroner of Pueblo County, Colorado after predecessor Brian Cotter resigned amid revelations of corpse hoarding at a funeral home. Investigators discovered 24 decomposing bodies behind a cardboard door; some remains were reportedly stored for up to 15 years and families may have received fake cremated remains. Grahek's office attempted a family-friendly Halloween event to rebuild community trust but faced public discomfort and skepticism. The scandal damaged local confidence in death care and raised questions about oversight and the handling of remains. Community reaction prevented a quick return to normalcy.
