Texas Funeral Home Under Investigation After Viral Video and Stabbing Incident

Authorities are examining Richardson Mortuary in Houston for alleged prolonged body mismanagement, infrastructure failures, and a reported assault on Friday.

A viral Facebook video, viewed over 6 million times, exposed bodies allegedly left uncovered without air conditioning at Richardson Mortuary in Houston.
The Texas Funeral Service Commission (TFSC) confirmed the video's accuracy and launched an investigation alongside local law enforcement agencies.
Reports indicate the bodies may have been improperly stored since February, potentially linked to the owner’s hospitalization and hurricane-related damages to the facility.
On Friday, a stabbing incident was reported at the mortuary, with law enforcement stating that an employee was allegedly involved in the assault.
Families of the deceased gathered outside the funeral home expressing outrage and distress over the conditions and seeking accountability.
