Cremator Pleads Guilty After Selling Body Parts #shorts

The owner of a Colorado funeral home has pleaded guilty to federal charges of mail fraud after the FBI uncovered an operation to sell body parts of deceased clients without the families’ permission.

Megan Hess, owner of Sunset Mesa Funeral Home, and her mother, Shirley Koch, were indicted in March 2020. In addition to mail fraud, Hess faced charges of transporting hazardous material, but those charges were dropped.

Hess faces up to 20 years in prison, according to her plea arrangement with prosecutors. #shorts #crematorium #crematory #bodyparts
