Two Bodies Found In Abandoned Detroit Funeral Home

An abandoned funeral home in Detroit was closed due to the death of the owner. It was surrounded with high weeds and its yard used to dump rubbish.

Squatters lived in the building and sold off the furniture, fixtures, and piping. Drug users were raiding the supply of embalming fluid, which can be mixed with marijuana to accelerate a high

Police responded to a vandalism call in 2015.

As they searched the funeral home, they discovered two caskets covered with black plastic to contain the smell. Once the caskets were opened, police were shocked to find they contained embalmed and decomposing human remains.

First body was an elderly black male who had been laid to rest in a dark gray pinstriped suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. He was embalmed and decomposed. His mummified hands were crossed and lying on top of his abdomen. The interior of the casket was disintegrating, and his suit was damp. He had a white/gray beard, but the facial features were too decomposed to allow for visual identification plus he had no teeth.

No identifying information was present, so a forensic anthropology consultation was needed. They determined the decedent was an elderly black male who had sustained a remote nasal fracture.

A facial reconstruction was carried out on the skull at its anthropology laboratory.

The original death certificate was located, and it was documented by a veterans hospital physician that the cause of death, for this 60-year-old black male, was advanced lung cancer.

The next of kin had arranged to have the decedent buried in a veteran’s cemetery on the west side of Michigan. However, he had never visited the cemetery to know that his relative was actually not buried. Since only a partial payment was received, the funeral home never completed the burial, nor notified the family.

A second corpse was found of a man laid to rest in a royal blue leisure suit. The face was covered with white cotton batting, and a container of embalming fluid was found within the casket. The body had partially skeletonized with decomposition. The deceased was a state prison inmate at the time of his death. The medical and dental records were obtained from the jail, and the decedent was identified as a 50-year-old black male who died from bronchopneumonia and Hepatitis C.

This burial hadn't been completed due to the lack of payment received by the funeral home.

The funeral home owner operated the funeral home for 30 years and died at age 72 from congestive heart failure. His funeral home license had expired three years prior to his death, according to the Bureau of Commercial Services.

No charges were ever made.

Gives an idea about how long embalming will delay decomposition.
