This is nothing short of horrendous.

State workers found remains of 11 bodies of babies in the ceiling of the Cantrell Funeral Home at 10400 Mack Ave. on Detroit's east side that was closed for deplorable conditions, Randy Wimbley of Fox 2 reports.

Police say nine of the 11 remains were found in a cardboard box, as well as a small casket inside inside a lowered ceiling, hidden at the former funeral home on the east side.

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs received an anonymous letter tipping them off where the bodies were hidden, leading tio the search. The remains were of infants and stillborns and some have been identified, Detective Brian Bowser tells the station.
