The Mortician: What Happened to David Sconce & Lamb Funeral Home?
Here's what to know about David Sconce's current whereabouts and what happened to Lamb Funeral Home.
Authorities released David Sconce on parole in 2023 after he served part of a 25-year-to-life sentence imposed in 2013.
The court issued that sentence after he violated a lifetime probation order stemming from his 1989 conviction. In that case, prosecutors charged him with mutilating corpses, conducting mass cremations, and hiring men to assault rival morticians. He had served a couple of years in prison before violating probation, which led to a harsher sentence.
In HBO's The Mortician, Sconce, now 68, appears on camera and states, 'I don't put any value in anybody after they're gone and dead.' His actions and perspective form the core of the three-part documentary (via People.)
A Pasadena police detective quoted in the Los Angeles Times reported that Sconce denied knowing one of his alleged victims, saying, 'I never met Tim Waters, I never spoke to Tim Waters… He was not an account of mine.' Former employee Danny Galambos testified that Sconce had hired him and two others to attack Waters and other competitors, for which Galambos received five years' probation.
Lamb Funeral Home, previously operated by the Sconce family in Pasadena, California, no longer exists.
The business lost its license and ceased operations following the scandal. According to The Mortician and archived Los Angeles Times coverage, regulatory agencies shut down the funeral home after investigations uncovered illegal cremations and desecration of bodies.
A fire destroyed the Pasadena Crematory in 1986 after an employee reportedly left the ovens running while getting high. Authorities later found bodies being cremated in bulk at Oscar Ceramics, a pottery facility using kilns designed for ceramics instead of human remains. The discovery triggered the final collapse of the Lamb family's funeral business.

Wyndham Clark banned from Oakmont Country Club after damaging locker during 2025 U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark has four missed cuts and only one top-10 finish this year on the PGA Tour. He is currently No. 28 in the world, No. 22 in the Ryder Cup standings and is No. 78 in the FedCup rankings. (Photo by) Wyndham Clark has been suspended from Oakmont Country Club due to the golfer's actions in damaging a locker during the 2025 U.S. Open last month. In a letter obtained by Golf Digest, club president John Lynch informed members that Clark is not allowed on the property and that he can be reinstated if he fulfills certain requirements, like paying for the damage, making a charitable contribution and attending "counseling and/or anger management sessions." 'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. "This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board. "Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Board's choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions. "Thank you for your understanding and continued support." Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, missed the cut after shooting 8-over par through two rounds. He apologized for his actions the following week at the Travelers Championship saying he "made a mistake that I deeply regret" and that he'd "like to move on" from the incident. The issue was brought up last week ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open with Clark calling it "a mistake in a moment of rage." 'Yeah, I mean, I made a mistake in a moment of rage with, you know, a bad year and everything coming together and it just was more than anything a good wake-up call for me to say, 'Hey, you know what, let's get back on track and things aren't that bad,'' Clark said. 'I live a great life and I'm not that far off from playing good golf, so I feel like I've turned a page and we're now maybe on the right track of playing some good golf.' Advertisement During the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Clark damaged a tee marker as he shot 4-over par and finished tied for 50th. Clark will have plenty of time to fulfill the requirements of his punishment and not miss out of Oakmont's next big tournament. The club doesn't host the U.S. Open again until 2033.

DEA, FBI seize $10 million in cryptocurrency 'directly linked to the Sinaloa cartel'
More than $10 million in cryptocurrency belonging to the Sinaloa cartel has been seized in Florida as part of nationwide drug raids since the onset of President Donald Trump's second term, the Justice Department announced this week. Officials said since Jan. 20, the Drug Enforcement Administration has "seized approximately 44 million fentanyl pills, 4,500 pounds of fentanyl powder, nearly 65,000 pounds of methamphetamine, more than 201,500 pounds of cocaine, and made over 2,105 fentanyl-related arrests." "In Miami, Florida, DEA in coordination with its FBI partners, seized over $10 million dollars in cryptocurrency, directly linked to the Sinaloa cartel," the Justice Department said, noting that the bust happened in the last few weeks. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the DEA agents "are doing historic work to keep our communities safe from deadly drugs like fentanyl and dismantle the cartels selling them." "DEA is hitting the cartels where it hurts — with arrests, with seizures, and with relentless pressure," added DEA Acting Administrator Robert Murphy in a statement. "From meth labs in California to fentanyl pills disguised as pharmaceuticals seized at our border, these operations are saving American lives every single day." "We are not slowing down. We are dismantling these networks piece by piece — and we won't stop until the last brick of their empire falls," he also said. The Justice Department said that during the raids, methamphetamine was found hidden in a "truckload of cucumbers" and a "refrigerated truck carrying blueberries." The operations unfolded from coast to coast, including in the states of California, Arizona, Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
