Warren Police clarified the mystery surrounding an open casket displayed at Butcher Park, revealing it was part of a funeral for a 97-year-old woman who recently passed away in New York. The funeral director temporarily placed the casket in the park to allow family members, who live nearby, to say their final goodbyes before burial in Detroit. Police confirmed no foul play was involved and appreciated the cooperation of the funeral director and the deceased's family, though they suggested advance notification for similar requests in the future. The incident sparked significant social media attention, with many initially speculating it could be a Halloween prank. Officials emphasized that while parks are meant for recreation, they aim to respect the wishes of families during such sensitive times. Ultimately, the deceased was laid to rest at Mt. Olivet Cemetery after the brief public viewing.
