Funeral home owner sold body parts of corpses including gold teeth and spines

A former funeral home owner has been sentenced along with her mum after the pair dissected corpses and sold body parts without any consent.

Megan Hess, 46, and her mother Shirly Koch, 69, dissected 560 corpses between 2010 and 2018 in Colorado, US.

Hess, who ran the Sunset Mesa Funeral Home in the town of Montrose, charged families up to $1,000 (£834) for cremations that she did not carry out, prosecutors said.
