Fort Worth Mortuary Manager Faces Abuse of a Corpse Charges

Operators of the Fort Worth Funeral Home where police say eight unrefrigerated bodies — including two infants — were removed in varying stages of decay are expected to face abuse of a corpse charges according to a police source.

The Johnson Family Mortuary is run by twin brothers Dondre and Derrick Johnson, according to its website. State records show Dondre Johnson’s wife, Rachel, also was a manager.

All three have denied doing anything wrong.

Johnson Family Mortuary has been under police investigation since eight decaying bodies were found there on Tuesday.

Rachel Johnson was arrested Friday, she faces seven counts of abuse of a corpse.
