Dozens of Decomposing Bodies Found in Trucks at Brooklyn Funeral Home. The funeral home director said that he used the trucks for storage after he ran out of space in his chapel. “Bodies are coming out of our ears,” he said.
When the police arrived, they made a fearful discovery. Inside the trucks, a U-Haul rental and what seemed to be a tractor-trailer were several dozen decomposing bodies, the New York Times reported.
The New York State Department of Health, which manages funeral homes, was also summoned to the scene, in the borough’s Flatlands section, to settle whether the funeral home was handling the remains properly, and it issued two summonses, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
The spectacle of dead New Yorkers left to decay in broad daylight in rental trucks on a crowded street in Brooklyn underscored the scale of the challenge facing the city as it tries to absorb the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
