Eleven dead babies found hidden in the ceiling of a former US funeral home
Detroit business was shut down after a surprise inspection found bodies kept in an unrefrigerated garage and some covered with mould
According to The Detroit News, eight bodies were found in a cardboard box and three others were found in bin bags inside a casket, all concealed in a compartment in the ceiling. The builders called the police, who ordered the rest of the property searched.
The inspectors showed up by surprise and were at first denied entry; once inside they found more than minor violations. Bodies from 2017 had been kept in an unrefrigerated garage. Other embalmed bodies that were improperly kept for months were covered with mold. The inspectors also claimed the owners had mishandled funds and suspended the funeral home’s license.
