For the second time this year, a coroner’s office in Ohio has run out of space for dead bodies due to the opioid epidemic.
The Trib reports the Montgomery County, Ohio office had 13 bodies yesterday, and 12 of them were overdoses.
Coroner, Dr. Kent Harshbarger, says they have already expanded the cooler once last year because space for 36 wasn’t enough, it now holds 42.
“If this pace continues, I’m not really sure what we’re going to do,” Dr. Harshbarger told the Trib. “It’s full every night.”
