In a shocking turn of events, an investigation is underway following the discovery of twenty decomposed bodies at Brian Cotter's mortuary in Pueblo County, Colorado. The investigation, led by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Pueblo County officials, is ongoing, and no arrests have been made as of late August 2025.
The discovery has raised concerns and questions about the management of the mortuary and the handling of the deceased individuals. As of now, no further details about the deceased individuals or the cause of decomposition have been released. This situation may impact public trust in the Pueblo County coroner's office.
Brian Cotter, the Pueblo County Coroner, is facing calls to resign from state and local officials. In response, Cotter announced his resignation effective September 2, 2025. However, no timeline for a decision on his resignation has been provided.
Cotter, who operates Davis Mortuary with his brother, has not been arrested in relation to the investigation. The Colorado Coroner's Association removed him as Secretary of its board following the discovery.
