Brothers Charged Over Mortuary Horror

Two brothers, Brian and Christopher Cotter, face 125 counts of abuse of a corpse after authorities discovered 24 decomposing bodies and skeletal remains hidden behind a door at their Colorado mortuary. Inspectors were called due to a foul odor, revealing horrific violations including unmarked containers filled with human remains and fake cremains. Brian, former Pueblo County Coroner, resigned in September amid allegations he misled families. This scandal exposes deep flaws in Colorado’s funeral industry—long plagued by weak regulations, no inspections, and no licensing standards—echoing a recent case where a funeral home owner got 18 years for hiding 200 bodies and scamming grieving families.
