Southeast Side funeral home under investigation after dozens of decomposed bodies found
More than 50 decedents in varying states of decomposition were found at South Chicago Chapel on East 95th Street. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office is identifying the remains and reviewing records, while state regulators conduct a separate license investigation and the Fire Department treats the scene as a hazardous materials incident. Owner Clark Morgan is linked to a prior crematory case, and families affected by the incident are awaiting guidance as the probe continues.
