The Environmental Protection Agency is at the Penrose Funeral Home where 190 decomposing bodies were found.
EPA workers are making their rounds inside and out, taking photographs and assessing the building which will be eventually torn down.

An EPA spokesperson says that they are checking the building’s structural integrity and inspecting for any signs of asbestos or other safety concerns. The clean-up will be extensive given the biohazard inside that authorities say remains from the 190 decomposing bodies that were discovered.
The EPA says they can’t give a date at which that demolition will happen.
A community outreach is planned before the demolition happens so that all those families, if they choose, can properly “part ways” with the building before it’s knocked down.
