The remains of more than 60 infants and fetuses were found stashed in a Detroit funeral home, police said on Oct. 19, calling the discovery “deeply disturbing.”

The incident comes about a week after the badly decomposed bodies of 11 babies were found hidden in a false ceiling at a different funeral home in the Michigan city.
