N.H. police find rotting corpse at crematory

Written by DeadGirl
Sunday, 27 February 2005
By Ryan Johnson Thursday, February 24, 2005 New Hampshire police executing a warrant for financial records at a Seabrook, N.H., crematory found a decomposing body indoors and body fluids outside, prompting them to shut down the unlicensed business yesterday. ``We discovered we had a decaying body in a broken cooler,'' Rockingham County Attorney James Reams said. The body had decomposed there for seven to 10 days at 78 degrees. This is not the first time that Bayview Crematory was the subject of a state probe. Massachusetts funeral regulators suspended the license of Derek A. Wallace of Lawrence's Hart and Wallace Funeral Home, in part because he owned the crematory. Yesterday's state police raid came as authorities investigate wrongdoing by suspended county Medical Examiner Gene Nigro, Reams said. He would not disclose how the business was connected, but said part of the examiner's job was to certify the identities of bodies set for cremation. The crematory also faces a Massachusetts lawsuit over allegedly returning the wrong ashes to a Dorchester woman. Reams said police found just one worker at the crematory - Winnacunnet School Board member James Fuller - who was burning two ``intermingled'' bodies at the same time in the same oven. Officers also found blood and other medical waste in a Dumpster outside the crematorium that records show has operated unlicensed since at least 1999. Reams said the medical examiner took all three bodies found at Bayview Crematory, but has not identified the remains. He said it is not known how many funeral homes did business with Bayview, which he said was owned by Lawrence Stokes Jr. of Salisbury, who police said is vacationing in Florida.Reams said no arrests were made. http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=70137
