Honest, we're not all like this...

Three decomposed bodies wrapped in body bags were found in the back of a repossessed van belonging to a company that transports bodies for funeral homes and the medical examiner's office, police said.

A bank had the North Star Transportation van repossessed Wednesday morning from the owner's home in Hurst, a northeast Fort Worth suburb.

A short time later, a bank official called the repossession company, Bower Services, saying the van owner called and said something inside had to be removed immediately, according to investigators. The police were notified, and they searched the van and discovered the bodies in bags under cardboard.

Authorities said the bodies were of elderly people who appear to have died up to five years ago.

Police Lt. Mark Krey said investigators don't suspect foul play in the deaths but are trying to determine how long the bodies were in the van and whether the vehicle's owner faces any charges related to that issue.

Tarrant County's medical examiner, Dr. Nizam Peerwani, said the agency's contract with North Star was suspended after the bodies were discovered. Peerwani said he would use dental records to identify the bodies because the body bags appear to have been used before and have different names on them.

Neighbors said the white van had been parked in the driveway for months with flat tires.
