Dozens of decomposing remains found at Chicago funeral home, triggering investigations

TL;DR Summary
More than 50 bodies were discovered stored in unrefrigerated, deplorable conditions at South Chicago Chapel in Chicago, run by Johanna and Clark Morgan. State officials suspended a director’s license and revoked Clark Morgan’s license, citing decomposition, rodent infestation and improper storage. Investigators are identifying the remains, notifying families, and arranging proper disposition as the probe continues, with connections to a previously shut down crematory operated by the same owners.
