Owners of Colorado funeral home where 190 bodies found ordered to pay $950m

Jon and Carie Hallford found liable as court rules for victims' families - but amount unlikely to be paid out

The Colorado couple who owned a funeral home where 190 decaying bodies were discovered last year were ordered to pay $950m to the victims' families - a largely symbolic victory for families of the deceased.

According to an email sent to victims by Leventhal Lewis, the firm that filed the lawsuit, it is the largest judgment in Colorado's history.
