the not so SICK update

Okay, finally more local coverage of the incident.

Arizona Daily Star is reporting that the coffin disposal may have been more innocent than orginally thought of.

As a research scientist, I still wonder how it's legal for a mortuary to dump a coffin in the landfill after it had been occupied. Isn't a used coffin considered a biohazard? Granted, I doubt there's an autoclave big enough for decontaminating a coffin, but how about a spray bottle filled with bleach?

I feel sorry for the family. Yeah, the person was apparently no longer in there, but they're still going to get a call "uhh, his used coffin turned up".
