The family of a doctor who operated a clinic in Indiana went through his personal belongings after his death and found 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains, authorities said.
Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who ran a women’s health facility in South Bend that included abortion clinics, died on September 3.
Following his death, the family discovered the dead babies and reached out to their attorney who then called Will County coroner’s office.
The remains were found Thursday at his home in Will County, Illinois, about 45 miles from Chicago, local media said.
Here’s more from CBS News.
The coroner’s office took the fetal remains and the family is cooperating fully with the investigation.
