Ok, so the coroner and his brother had a hidden room where they kept decomposing bodies, some as long as 15 years. This was discovered and he resigned his position as coroner. A new coroner was appointed.

That coroner's office also, separately, planned a community event for a Halloween party. The planned Halloween party would have had zero corpses, and the creep who kept the corpses wasn't invited to attend (probably?). Cancelling the event had nothing to do with safety, in spite of what the unnecessary quotes in the headline would suggest.
