License suspended for Indiana funeral home after 31 decomposing bodies were found
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (CBS) -- Indiana's top attorney has suspended the license of a funeral home where police found 31 decomposing bodies.
Police searched Lankford Funeral Home in Jeffersonville last month after receiving a tip about a foul odor coming from the building.
They found unrefrigerated corpses in body bags and 16 cremated remains stashed around the facility -- at least one had been there since March.
Attorney General Todd Rokita says the unsanitary conditions posed a clear public health threat.
So far, no criminal charges have been filed but the funeral home faces multiple lawsuits.
