56 decomposing remains found at Chicago funeral home trigger probe and license suspensions

Illinois regulators suspended the South Chicago Chapel director’s license after 56 decomposing bodies were found stored in an unrefrigerated area, prompting a police investigation as officials identify remains and notify families. The owners, Johanna and Clark Morgan, previously ran Heights Crematory, which had its license revoked for mishandling remains, and authorities say the case follows other incidents of mishandled remains at funeral homes in recent years.
