TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) -COVID-19 has taken the lives of more than 11,000 Arizonans, many just in the last two months. This is creating a heavy back log in the funeral home and cremations industries, but also at the Medical Examinerâs office.
The Pima County Medical Examinerâs office started was used as extra storage space for remains back in the summer of 2020. Normally, the medical examinerâs office would not be used to hold overflow from hospitals.
