Bodies Weymouth found recently has been of 12 people in a storage unit in the area. According to the New York Daily news, the recent bodies Weymouth found has been linked to Joseph O'Donnell, a former funeral director who has leased the unit.

Reuters reports the grisly discovery of the corpses was made a day before cops found cremated remains from 40 bodies at a Somerville storage unit.

According to the District Attorney's office, the bodies Weymouth found recently came with the investigation into Joseph O'Donnell of Mattapan, a former director of a Dorchester funeral home. CBS Local says O'Donnell used to run O'Donnell and Mulry Funeral Home on Neponset Avenue in Dorchester. However, he lost his license in 2008.

The investigation into O'Donnell turned grisly as what occurred next were the bodies Weymouth found. According to authorities, they discovered the 12 bodies from the storage unit leased by O'Donnell outside Boston.

Late Thursday, the NY Daily News said police recovered the 12 human bodies about 13 miles southeast of Boston.

Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said in a statement that the discovery came Wednesday, a day after police also found cremated remains from 40 bodies in a storage facility in Somerville.

Thus, 55-year-old O'Donnell was arrested in April for the bodies Weymouth found. According to Reuters, he was charged with two counts of larceny after accepting $12,000 in pre-payment funds from a family planning a funeral, but then he closed his funeral home after that.

O'Donnell pleaded not guilty of the charges for the bodies Weymouth found.

According to prosecutors, foul play is not linked to the bodies Weymouth found. However, officials are still concerned as to why the bodies were left in the storage unit, reports CBS Local. Meanwhile, reports say investigators also removed caskets and boxes from the unit. Investigators said they are still trying to work out identifying the bodies and notifying family members.

Conley said in a statement, 'Our top priority right now is determining the identity of the remains we've discovered. We've seized records and documents that could help us locate those people's families, but this will be a time- and labor-intensive task.'

Bodies Weymouth found suspect O'Donnell was criminally charged in April for working without a license and misusing more than $12,000 in pre-paid funeral fees. He is currently held on $10,000 cash bail for that case, and will be going in front of a judge Friday, reports CBS Local.
