Police
discovered 100 bodies stacked in unrefrigerated trucks outside a funeral home
in Brooklyn Wednesday after police responded to 911 complaints from neighbors
who had been complaining for weeks about the smell.
Authorities found two unrefrigerated U-Haul
box trucks being used to store the bodies outside of Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral
Home in Flatlands after neighbors filmed body bags being dragged into them in recent
days.
There
were as many as 50 corpses being stored in each truck, according to ABC News,
as the facility struggled to keep up with the overwhelming surge of bodies due
to the coronavirus outbreak.
Police found the bodies in various stages of
decomposition.
The owner told city officials that its
freezer had stopped working and they were forced to use the trucks as storage
while bodies awaited burial or cremation.
(The owner was “forced to use
the trucks.” No, the owner chose to use the trucks. There were other options,
such as contacting other funeral homes, or searching the internet for funeral
home rental equipment. The owner decided to go the U-Haul way because it was
cheaper.)
