Old Remains Found In Unrefrigerated Morgue

The bodies of five elderly adults — three men and two women — and one fetus were found along with the cremated remains of two other people last week at the Pennine Funeral home in Providence, according to the state health department. Detectives are waiting for the state medical examiner to finish identifying the bodies so they can contact any relatives, Lapatin said. According to the Health Department, Pennine was put on probation for two years in 2006 for not performing a timely cremation and for not submitting a required report.
