I thought Islam required a burial no more than 24 hours after a follower’s death.

It’s not an absolute mandate. There can be reasons to not bury the body, like autopsy in the case of foul play and a few other reasons.

The 24 hour period was to limit disease spread, like cholera, back in the 7th century...........

It is not required if the person was a homosexual or child molester.
