WILL COUNTY, Ill. (WTHR) - Police say more than 2,000 fetal remains were found on the property of an abortion doctor who used to run clinics in several Indiana cities.

Ulrich George Klopfer died September 3, WNDU reported. Nine days later, an attorney representing his family called the coroner's office in Will County, Illinois, reporting they found the remains among his personal property and requested they be properly removed.

The coroner's office took possession of 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains found in an area of Klopfer's property.

The sheriff's office told WNDU there is no evidence that medical procedures were performed at the property. Klopfer's family is cooperating with investigators.
