Overview

  • Employees at the Alsco Uniforms laundry on Hollywood Avenue discovered embalmed remains on May 27 after initially mistaking them for a doll.
  • Shreveport detectives traced the linens shipment back to Golden Gate Funeral Home & Crematory in Dallas, where the baby was stillborn on May 3 and memorialized on May 17.
  • Investigators from the Shreveport Police Department and the Texas Funeral Service Commission have launched a joint inquiry, suspecting negligence rather than foul play.
  • The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office has taken custody of the remains and is coordinating their return to the grieving family in Dallas.
  • The Texas Funeral Service Commission has expanded its administrative probe into Golden Gate Funeral Home to assess potential regulatory violations.
