Space issues have become so acute at the Seattle-King County morgue in Washington state that local officials are considering keeping bodies on gurneys and partnering with local funeral homes for storage as stopgap measures.

“A key indication of just how bad things are … the medical examiner’s office is now struggling with the issue of storing bodies because the fentanyl-related death toll continues to climb,” Seattle-King County Public Health Director Dr. Faisal Khan said at a Board of Health meeting last week, according to KTTH radio.

Not sure if the “holding period” is a legal requirement or just policy, but they may have to start burying corpses sooner.

I believe Trump hinted the Fentanyl epidemic was warfare (China). Regardless, we also have higher mortality across the board starting in 2021 from ‘unknown causes’ and that will be part of the reason that storage space in morgues is needed.

Yes. I guess it's revenge, since we did the same thing to them 175 years ago.

Well, if they’re at the morgue, it’s fatal . . . redundancy.

sorry to say, but I don’t care.

Outlaw narcan and this problem fixes itself pretty quickly; and I say this as someone who lost a brother to drugs.

Look up what FDR’s maternal grandfather did. He was the head of a cartel that sold drugs in China.

Sharkbait possibilities? Or would that be inhumane?

The British did. Not America. It only is the Chicoms using fentanyl. They have attacked us with Covid. And the attack with Covid was with the complicity of some members of both major political parties. I’ll take my hat off now. I need the foil for something else.
