No Vacancy
- WBBM Newsradio 780 has learned that the cooler at the Cook County morgue is so crowded right now, bodies are doubled-up on some of the trays.
Why are there so many bodies?
“We had this huge upswing in deaths right at the end of the year, and with the holidays being on Saturdays, it really created a backlog because the funeral directors weren’t coming in,” Cook County Medical Examiner Dr. Nancy Jones tells WBBM Newsradio “The cooler really isn’t in bad shape right now,” Jones said. “We do have a fair number of bodies, but it has had more bodies in it at other times.”
Jones says in some cases, bodies are doubled up on one tray.
“My rule is, if you have two bodies on a tray, you have to have two thin bodies,” Jones says. “We’ve been doubling people up for decades.”
Sounds like poor planning and poor management from this end.

Put 'em in a Beat car . .

Theirs a lot of stiff competition in that place. The examiners giving everyone the cold shoulder. They're dying to get in that place. Ain't THAT a kick in the slab...ok I'll stop.
No vacancy? At least somebody's busy in today's economy.
How about aa local news outlet story on the doubling up of pensions by connected Shortshank lackeys like the newly anointed McPier Chief Wiggam, Sgt. "Car 47" Keating.
Sorta like the morgue problem but with legs, so to speak...

And, they'd probably do more work than half the pooches out there!!!
Send the "extras" over to the
Demonstrators Society.
They know what to do with them and
they and the medical schools will
be very appreciative.

please don't.
I know its been a slow news week. The question is when is the county going to bury the indigent? Who are yall going to blame now since Stroger aint in office?
Are yall ready for Emanuel to give away the rest of Chicago, including the pensions and other benefits?

Uh, yeah. The new facility was supposed to be big enough, was supposed to solve all of these problems.
Does this have anything to do with buffet day at the soup kitchen?
I love soylent green.
Imagine the freezer space that will be needed when concealed carry is passed here.
Yet amazingly still able to vote Democrat. Residency is not an issue here.
So, imagine that? One poor innocent productive tax paying citizen or family member thereof stacked up on top of some Criminal or Hype piece of shit.
