"This is a profound violation of trust and a heartbreaking betrayal of the families who entrusted their loved ones to this funeral home."

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday called for a county coroner to resign immediately after state inspectors found about 20 decomposing bodies behind a hidden door in a funeral home he owned.

The state has also moved funds — $300,000 initially — from the state’s emergency reserves to aid in Pueblo County’s efforts.
