GARY, Indiana — The horrifying discovery was made by workers at the Smith, Bizzel & Warner Funeral Home in Gary. The bodies were discovered above ceiling tiles in the building.
One baby, a male, had been in the building for at least a decade. The Chicago Tribune reports information with that body suggests the baby was stillborn and arrived in March of 1996. Authorities say it appeared to have been “mummified.”
The Tribune reports the second baby may be only a few months old. The baby “carried a hospital identification band indicating the baby was born in March 2012.”
The bodies were removed for the ceiling, according to the Tribune.
No foul play is suspected in the babies’ deaths.
An investigation is ongoing.
