一 | At least 189 decomposing bodies have been removed from a Colorado funeral home, much higher than initial reports suggested when the story surfaced earlier this month, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.The Return to Nature Funeral Home based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, offers environmentally friendly burials but came under investigation after more than 115 human remains were found being improperly stored on the property, according to a statement from the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office from earlier this month.Responding to a suspicious incident, authorities found around 115 decomposing bodies stored inside a space of about 2,500 square feet. The bodies were in such bad condition that they will need to be identified through DNA, officials said.However, a statement issued on Tuesday by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on behalf of Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper and Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller confirmed the body count to be much higher than originally thought.“On October 13, 2023, all decedents were removed from the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose. The effort was coordinated by the Fremont County Coroner’s Office with support from several entities,” the CBI said. “Teams removed at least 189 individuals and transported them to the El Paso County Coroner's Office. The total number of decedents could change as the identification and investigative processes continue.”Families will be notified once bodies can be identified but the DNA testing could take months, according to local officials."Without providing too much detail to avoid further victimizing these families, the area of the funeral home where the bodies were improperly stored was horrific," Cooper said earlier this month.The scene was so bad when authorities first arrived that that a paramedic who responded developed a rash and had to be medically evaluated, Cooper said.“We are conducting extensive coordination efforts as we focus on the identification of the decedents and provide notifications to ensure the families are given accurate information to prevent further victimization as they continue to grieve their loved ones,” said Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller.Authorities did not disclose what the funeral home was doing with the human remains but did confirm that they are working with the Fremont County Coroners' Office, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, the Colorado Department of Public Health and the FBI on the case."Green Burial is a natural way of caring for your loved one with minimal environmental impact. Green Burial aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions and the preservation of habitat, WITHOUT the use of harsh embalming chemicals, metallic, plastic or unnatural items," the website for the funeral home says. "You can still view your loved one who is NOT embalmed. Embalming is NOT a law. In the state of Colorado within 24 hours the body must be either embalmed or placed in a regulated temperature controlled environment, meaning under refrigeration, dry ice, etc."Officials said they are now beginning the second phase of their investigation on Tuesday.“The second phase of this comprehensive process includes confirming identification and completing family notifications,” the CBI said. “Family notifications will be conducted by a team led by the Fremont County Coroner’s Office, victim advocates and others and this is expected to begin in the next several days.”There is currently no timeline for completion of the investigation.。 (ECNS) -- The China National Tourist Office in Tokyo promoted the Chinese cultural and tourism sector at the "World Tour Summer Fair 2026," held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, from Saturday to Sunday. During the event, the office held a tourism information session for local residents titled "Nihao! China — Starting from Hokkaido, Explore China." At the booth, the office distributed the latest editions of Chinese travel guides and tourist maps, and organized interactive lucky draws. Visitors were encouraged to follow the office's official social media accounts and scan QR codes to access digital travel brochures. The information session began with a systematic introduction to China's policies and services designed to facilitate travel for foreign visitors. The office then highlighted tourism resources in Beijing and Shanghai, with a focus on direct flight routes from Sapporo's New Chitose Airport to China. For Beijing, the presentation covered practical travel services, including entry procedures, subway travel and tax refunds for departing visitors, as well as cultural experiences popular among overseas tourists. For Shanghai, the office promoted classic itineraries such as the Bund historical area and water towns, along with a new Shanghai Disney Resort package recently launched on Japanese online travel platforms, giving individual and family travelers more options. The office also introduced the "Jingdezhen Handmade Porcelain Industry Heritage," which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2026. Known as the "Porcelain Capital" for its centuries-old ceramic tradition, Jingdezhen offers heritage sites and pottery-making experiences that highlight the connection between traditional culture and modern tourism.
