4 Bodies Found Left Behind In Vacant Funeral Home
GARY, Ind. — Church leaders visiting a former funeral home they recently bought in a tax sale stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — four unidentified bodies that had been left behind, perhaps for years, in the vacant building.
Lake County Coroner David J. Pastrick described the situation as “unbelievable.”
Leaders of the Northlake Church of Christ called authorities after finding a body bag on a table Sunday.
Pastrick and his staff investigated and found one body in the bag, another in a corrugated burial box and two in caskets.
“They are unidentifiable,” Pastrick said Tuesday of the remains.
Pastrick said the bodies may have been in the former Serenity Gardens Funeral Home since 2006, when the Indiana State Board of Funeral and Cemetery Services revoked the business license for owner Darryl Cammack.
