DETROIT (AP) – Police in Detroit said they would file a criminal complaint against the owners after the remains of 10 fetuses and one infant were found hidden in a former funeral home that had lost its license when decomposing embalmed bodies were found there earlier this year.
A criminal complaint will be opened against the owners of Cantrell Funeral Home, Police Chief James Craig said Monday.
The Associated Press was unable Monday to find a telephone listing for Raymond Cantrell who owned the funeral home when its license was suspended in April.
An anonymous letter led state inspectors Friday to the decomposed remains hidden between the eastside building’s first and second floors.
The fetuses were found together in a cardboard-like box while the full-term infant was in a coffin, Craig said.
