The man who filmed a viral video from inside a Houston mortuary was reportedly stabbed by a worker, authorities said.
The video unveiled the deplorable conditions inside Richardson Mortuary in Houston, Texas, where several bodies were kept uncovered and without AC for weeks.
The man and his sister went to the funeral home to check on the status of their mother and uncle when they witnessed the horrors inside the building.
“It’s bodies in caskets, boxes, plastic bags. It’s no A/C; it's gnats. It smells like rotten blood,” the man’s sister said, adding that she found her mother’s casket and “she had gnats in her face.”
Another customer said the mortuary told her that her brother’s body had been cremated, but she later discovered it was a lie.
“It’s like some trash or a dog. Just throw him away like he’s trash, and she had me believing. We were just waiting on them to bring the ashes.”
The business owner is currently hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. The bodies will be brought to other funeral homes.
