If you try to find out what kind of care your dearly departed will experience at the David B. Lawson Mortuary in North Carolina, you will only find that the website is 'temporarily' unavailable.
That may well be due to the discovery of a body left in one of the mortuary's hearses under a shade tree.
The body was that of a 37 year old woman found dead in her apartment who's next of kin had no been located.
The mortuary was on a list of such businesses used by police to hold human remains until kin can collect them.
A police officer answering a call concerning a 'foul odor' coming from the business discovered the hearse with its windows open and flies coming and going from a large brown container and also observed dark liquid leaking from the rear of the vehicle.
The owner of the mortuary at first would not acknowledge that a body was in the hearse, but eventually explained that he only had the body in a freezer for one day, then moved it to the hearse due to 'paperwork' issues.
Needles to say, the Mortuary is no longer on the list for police to use for unclaimed bodies.
