For the first time, the whistleblower behind the closing of a south suburban Chicago crematory speaks out after Illinois state investigators obtained how the remains of deceased people were being handled.
Disturbing images of bodies stacked inside a trailer outside a suburban crematorium, with some wrapped in sheets or plastic, with faces and body parts exposed.
Families from Illinois and Indiana are angry about the way their loved ones were being handled. The man who took the photos that led to a multi-state investigation said, "Something needed to be done."
Dave: "Are these some of the pictures that you took?"
Christopher: "They are."
His name is Christopher Iacovetti. He sent the photos to CBS News Chicago investigators. One of the bags was filled with dead bugs.
Dave: "Describe for me what you see in those pictures."
Christopher: "Very deplorable conditions of storage. Complete disrespect and disregard for the families of these loved ones."
The bodies were being stored in a trailer at Heights Crematory in Chicago Heights.
When asked to open the trailer, Clark Morgan, who operates the crematory, refused and also refused to answer any questions.
The photos were taken on Feb. 15, and four days later, the crematory was voluntarily shut down pending an investigation by state regulators into the handling of bodies here.
"He was just treated like he wasn't even a person."
