A funeral home owner in Georgia, Chris Lee Johnson, has recently been arrested on charges of neglecting human corpses. The shocking discovery was made when authorities found 18 bodies in various stages of decomposition at his business, Johnson Funeral & Cremation Services. It all started when the police were called in to assist with an eviction notice at the funeral home. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) quickly took over the case and announced that Johnson, 39, would be facing 17 counts of abuse of a dead body.
According to the GBI, Johnson's actions resulted in the serious disfigurement of the deceased individuals. It's a disturbing and complex investigation, as the agency is working closely with the families of the deceased to gather more information. They have also stated that there could be additional charges in the future. This news has shocked the small community of Douglas, where Johnson's funeral home is located. The city, with a population of around 12,000, is approximately 320 kilometers away from the state capital, Atlanta.
During his court appearance, it was decided that Johnson would be held in jail until his trial. This decision was made due to the severity of the charges and the possibility of more charges being added. In court records, Johnson stated that he would be hiring his own attorney and did not wish to have a public defender. As of now, there is no lawyer listed for him in online court documents. It was also reported that Johnson had previously run for Coffee County coroner earlier this year, but was defeated in the primaries.
The discovery of the neglected bodies has caused outrage and disbelief in the community. People are shocked that such a thing could happen in their small town. It's a tragic situation for the families of the deceased, and the investigation is ongoing. The GBI is working tirelessly to uncover the truth and bring justice to those who have been affected by this disturbing case.
