A growing epidemic of drug overdoses in Ohio has created the need to a special “death trailer” to handle the overflow of dead bodies in a county morgue.
In Stark County, the morgue at the county jail complex in Canton can handle a dozen bodies at a time.
Help has come in the form of a 20-foot long air-conditioned trailer that can hold 18 bodies. The so-called “death trailer” is on loan from the Ohio State Department of Health. It was designed to handle disaster response situations, such as mass casualties from a catastrophe like an airplane crash.

Ok if know one comes to claim the body of a dead person what happen to the 30 day or be burn to ashes
What I don’t understand is why they can’t track down the SOURCE of the carfentanil itself…. For it to be profitable to drug dealers to use as a “cut” for heroin, then surely they are getting it in large quantities… So, WHERE is is coming from?? It’s an “elephant tranquilizer” for Christ’s sake, so where is it coming from?? I doubt that my local veterinarian has it in five gallon buckets at his office, so WHO does have it??? It seems to me that if you follow THAT trail, then you’ll find the guilty party..
It’s easy for people to say, “if they know they may die, then WHY do they do it”?? But if they’ve never been addicted, then they cant possibly know the answer, because it’s the same as why addicts do anything that they do… Opioid addiction is an “all consuming” situation, and all the addicted can even think about is where, when, and how they’ll get their next fix.. It’s a miserable existence and I thank God everyday that he brought me out of that life 13 years ago….and I pray for all the addicts now, because I’d surely hate to be in their shoes in these times where the feds have clamped down so hard on pain killers that the addicts have no other choice but to “chance” death Everytime they do a shot, snort, or smoke….
that is total crazy
Ohio’s drug problem is just that their problem. Not the federal government’s problem. It’s really a novel solution to the drug problem in america. Give the addicts drugs that will kill them first time they use it. No more drug addicts no more drug problem.
