Woman's Body Left in Hearse for 9 Days
Hearse Body: Woman's Body Left in Hearse for 9 Days - KTLA

GRAHAM, N.C. -- Police and North Carolina regulators are investigating why a woman's body was left in a hearse for nine days.

Police found the body of Linda Walton last week after they were asked to investigate a foul odor in the city of Graham, about 32 miles west of Durham.

The 37-year-old died earlier this month in her apartment and police were unable to locate her next of kin.

They called David B. Lawson Mortuary to pick up the body.

Lawson has been a licensed funeral director for more than 30 years and is part of a rotation of funeral homes used by police.

He refused to talk about the case early Wednesday.

The funeral service's disciplinary committee meets next week to discuss the complaint.

what pathetic!!
 
I guess they don't have a pauper's cemetery there....
 
I guess the embalming chemical has begun to take effect on him....
 
So the funeral home could not treat the body with more respect as cops could not find any family members. How disgusting! I wonder if the cops had any thing on the news and news papers and computer to try any find any family members. It does not sound like the cops looked that hard.
