Investigators uncovered 56 decomposing bodies stored under unlawful conditions at a funeral home in Chicago on Thursday.
More than 50 decomposed human remains were found during a licensing investigation at a #Chicago funeral home, state officials say.
One of them, 55-year-old Latasha Johnson, had buried her mother at South Chicago Chapel only the day before the scandal broke.
Before that, 18 decomposing bodies turned up at a funeral home in Georgia in 2024.
In 2023 alone, close to 200 decomposing remains were discovered inside a building in Colorado, while a separate case in Indiana uncovered another 31.
