A mother and her daughter dismembered hundreds of corpses, prosecutors in Colorado say.
An ex-funeral home owner and her mother have been sentenced to prison in Colorado after dissecting hundreds of dead bodies and selling the body parts.
According to federal prosecutors in Colorado, the mother-daughter duo harvested body parts, and entire bodies in some cases, for sale. But victims who sought to cremate their decedents often received cremains partially or even fully recovered from body broker services, while families who agreed to donate body parts often had their loved ones' remains sold beyond what they had authorised.
"But instead of offering guidance, these greedy women betrayed the trust of hundreds of victims and mutilated their loved ones."
