Haunting memories from a tour of Cook County's old 'morgue' more than half a century ago
Back in 1967, the old Cook County coroner’s office, aka the morgue, was located at 1828 W. Polk St. Then-novice reporter Michael Sneed got a tour she remembers to this day. The lights were flicked on and off to allow her to view the grim and dark cubicles.
