MACOMB COUNTY, MI – Two people are facing charges related to stealing drugs from a Michigan morgue where they worked, authorities said.
The 32-year-old woman and 50-year-old man were employees at the Macomb County Morgue when they allegedly stole prescription pills from the property room where drugs were kept in connection with overdose deaths, WDIV Local 4 reports.
Two years ago, county officials requested more oversight of drugs brought into the medical examiner's office, the report said. It was found that 20 hydrocodone pain pills were missing. Nineteen employees had access to the property room where they were kept. Employees were interviewed and two people admitted to taking pills. They were both fired and are facing charges. The missing drugs were not recovered.
