• Hinds County could lose off-site body storage (mississippitoday.org) — Hinds County may soon stop using a temporary morgue facility near Hinds Community College’s Raymond campus, potentially shifting how unclaimed bodies and overflow cases are handled. Officials say the coroner is working to clear the space after a recent power outage raised concerns, while the county continues to rely on pauper burials and other measures to manage a growing number of unclaimed remains.
