In response to the difficult news pouring in today, I believe it's important that we pause for a moment, while setting anger aside and simply say a prayer for those who have been victimized by these evil, heartless and undoubtedly mentally ill individuals. These acts of human mutilation and the deceitful practices by which they were able to gain possession of the bodies in the first place, is perhaps the most important part of this story.
For those residents that've experienced a death in Montrose outside of hospice, what happens, is the Coroner's dispatched. Coroner, Dr. Thomas Canfield, decides a funeral home to engage to assist the county in removing the deceased from the place of death. Despite having one of the largest staffs in the State, at eleven employees, Dr. Canfield deems it appropriate to invest tax payer funds to pay Megan Hess to "assist with transport". Dr. Canfield knows that when Hess comes out to transport the deceased, he's placing a predatory monster in the family's home and giving Hess first priority to hustle her way into getting the family as a client. Nearly 100% of the time, this's how it occurs. Counties that have multiple funeral homes, try to avoid conflict of interest, and either subcontract these services to a third party transport company or handle it themselves. With eleven employees for roughly 90 deaths/year the Montrose Coroners Office handles, there's more than enough coverage. The only other way it's handled, is with funeral homes on a rotating schedule. However, that's only lawful, if ALL funeral homes are on rotation. Otherwise, it violates a statute stating the Coroner is acting unlawfully if he/she directs business to a certain provider for personal or professional gain. Leaving certain funeral homes out of the rotation, indicates the Coroner is directing business to funeral homes in rotation.
Rose Memorial Parlour was told by Canfield, we'd be added to rotation, until I happened to question Canfield's ethics. I presented him with cremains Megan Hess gave to a family that were fake. The real cremains, I located in a box sealed up and labeled with the individual's name. Sad thing about it, was that I found the actual cremains in 2016 abandoned in the basement. Hess gave the family these fake "cremains" in 2003! Canfield became visibly nervous, he said "How am I supposed to know if those are real? You're the cremation people." "Why don't you just get rid of those" "Let's not make a big deal out of this." From that point on, we've been excluded from assisting the coroner's office with body removals. He knew I wasn't a "team player" who'd look the other way as him and Hess got rich off of the unethical sale of body parts.
That was only the first of several instances that Canfield went out of his way to protect Hess. Despite all of the complaints Hess has had filed on her, Canfield still places her in homes of Montrose residents. Has she been in your home because he placed her there? If so--I WANT TO KNOW, SO THAT THE AUTHORITIES CAN BE NOTIFIED THAT MONTROSE FAMILIES ARE NOT BEING GIVEN THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN PROVIDER! Make no mistake, the only way bodies get to Hess, is through Canfield. He's went out of his way to keep Hess busy. He got spared in this article today, but collusion and corruption's live and well in this county. Evil's being facilitated by a man elected to protect the best interest of the deceased. Instead, he's chosen to profit off of the dismemberment of them. That's what's really going on here. No statement from Dr. Canfield? His office writes Hess checks for hundreds of dollars every month, just check the public records. Canfield is dirty and must be stopped. A vote for Canfield as Coroner, is a vote for approval at what Hess is doing. Hopefully they took him with to Disneyland after removing all of those gold teeth.
Humbly yours,
