Yikes.

Human remains, including the bodies of four people, were discovered in the garage of a south suburban home, officials said.

Family members of homeowner Anton Godfrey - who died two weeks ago - discovered the remains in his Riverdale home, located near East 139th and South Dearborn streets, while going through his belongings Wednesday night.

Police say Godfrey was improperly storing bodies in his garage in preparation for burial. According to state records, Godfrey was fined $10,000 in August 2013 for operating as a funeral director and embalmer without a license.

In addition to the bodies, Cook County Medical Examiner's officials say they are also examining a container of organs and a box of cremains. They say they are working to identify the bodies.
