"DETROIT (CNNMoney.com) -- At 1300 E. Warren St., you can smell the plight of Detroit.

 

Inside the Wayne County morgue in midtown Detroit, 67 bodies are piled up, unclaimed, in the freezing temperatures. Neither the families nor the county can afford to bury the corpses. So they stack up inside the freezer.

 

Albert Samuels, chief investigator for the morgue, said he has never seen anything like it during his 13 years on the job. "Some people don't come forward even though they know the people are here," said the former Detroit cop. "They don't have the money."

 

 

 

Holy fuck. I wonder if they get alot of calls from Chinese food restaurants.
