Authorities in the Mississippi Delta made a chilling discovery this week, as three bodies were found in a storage facility in Greenville. The bodies were found at iStorage on Reed Road, after Washington County sheriff’s deputies responded to burglary reports at the business. Instead of finding thieves, they stumbled upon a casket containing the bodies.
The shocking find led to the arrest of former funeral home director Albert Creath for improper desecration of a corpse. Creath had previously lost his license and business, but was allegedly continuing to offer funeral and burial services using the storage facility.
Washington County Chief Deputy Billy Barber confirmed Creath’s arrest and stated that the investigation is ongoing. It remains unclear how long the bodies had been stored in the facility, or what led authorities to discover them in the first place.
The community has been left stunned and horrified by this gruesome incident, with many expressing shock and disbelief. Funeral homes and burial services are meant to provide comfort and closure to families in times of grief, making the improper handling of bodies all the more disturbing.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to uncover more information about Creath’s activities and the circumstances surrounding the bodies found in the storage facility. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of proper regulation and oversight in the funeral industry to ensure that families can trust in the respectful treatment of their loved ones.
