    Post Mortuary services worker allegedly used body bag to steal items from dead man's home

    Mortuary services worker allegedly used body bag to steal items from dead man's home - A man who owns a company that transports bodies allegedly used a body bag and gurney to steal property from a dead man's home near San Diego, police say..


    Authorities put out a call for any additional alleged victims of a mortuary services worker accused of looting a recently deceased Spring Valley man's home, carrying away valuables with a gurney and a body bag. Sammy Willie Gates, 49, allegedly ransacked the 60-year-old man's house late on the night of Aug. 31, about 11 hours after deputies conducting a welfare check found the resident dead of natural causes, according to sheriff's officials.

    On Sept. 2, one of the victim's relatives reported discovering items, including a firearm and safe, missing from the residence, Sgt. Karen Bloch said. Two days later, the family reported that reviews of surveillance camera footage had revealed that the home of the victim, whose name has not been released, had been burglarized. The video clips showed a man, later identified by investigators as Gates, owner of independently operated Mortuary Transportation Services, arriving at the man's house in a white utility van, the sergeant said.

    His company was not the one that was actually hired to transport the man's body, authorities say. Gates allegedly entered the home and exited shortly thereafter with two bags
    filled with stolen property, then returned with a gurney and an empty body bag that he used to haul away more property.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that happens often.

    And you would think that ordinary business would be up for them if you listen to Biden.
