Toledo man who let bodies decay will spend week in jail, surrender funeral license

The owner of a funeral home where 11 bodies were found in various states of decay, some in a damp garage, was sentenced Monday to spend a week in jail and give up his funeral license. Robert Tate Jr. faced relatives of the deceased and apologized, but he didn't explain why he left the bodies in what the state funeral board said was a condition "that would outrage reasonable family and community sensibilities."
