The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified all 55 people whose bodies were found at South Chicago Chapel, more than two months after authorities discovered decomposing remains at the Far South Side funeral home. Officials initially reported finding 56 bodies. DNA testing later showed that a bag of organs counted separately belonged to one of the 55 people, the medical examiner’s office said Oct. 14. Illinois regulators suspended funeral director Johanna Morgan’s license in early August, saying the facility had kept multiple people in an unrefrigerated area in deplorable conditions. State records cite rodent and maggot infestations and warn that the funeral home’s continued operation posed a danger to public safety and welfare. The case follows scrutiny of Morgan and her husband, Clark Morgan, after bodies were improperly handled at Heights Crematory in Chicago Heights in March 2025. State police later sent the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office a list of potential charges, including 443 possible violations of the Crematory Regulation Act, 715 counts involving the Integrity in Death Care Act and eight counts of abuse of a corpse. The State’s Attorney’s Office said in August that it recommended police continue investigating and consider possible financial crimes. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation said it filed disciplinary charges against Johanna Morgan in October 2025, but her license remained active until its suspension in August 2026. In September, Chicago sued the Morgans and several of their business entities, alleging 23 building-code violations at South Chicago Chapel. The city alleges, among other issues, that the building was not kept sanitary and safe, lacked fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and had unpermitted second-floor construction. The city is asking a judge to impose fines of $11,500 per day until the violations are corrected.
