Decomposing Bodies Found at Chicago Chapel | Albuquerque News

Over 50 decomposing bodies were found at Chicago’s South Chicago Chapel funeral home, sparking a major investigation after neighbors complained of foul odors and authorities responded to a hazardous materials call. The remains, discovered in closets and a garage, are now being examined by the Cook County Medical Examiner as officials work to identify them. Funeral director Johanna Morgan’s license was suspended in August over public safety concerns, with reports of bodies stored in unrefrigerated, unsanitary conditions. This case eerily mirrors a prior scandal at Heights Crematory, where Morgan and her husband Clark—still listed as president of South Chicago Chapel—agreed to close operations after state auditors uncovered improper storage. Clark’s license was revoked and he was fined $10,000 in 2024. Authorities are still piecing together how this tragedy unfolded and how to support grieving families.
