After a South Bend abortionist died in Indiana, his family made a grisly discovery in his Indiana home: 2,246 medically preserved fetal remains.

The family of Ulrich George Klopfer found the remains in his Will County home after his death on Sept. 3 — and reached out to their attorney, local station WNDU reported.

The attorney called the county coroner's office on Sept. 12.

Klopfer operated abortion clinics in South Bend, Fort Wayne and Gary, and there is no evidence he conducted any medical procedures at his home, officials said.

The state medical licensing board had suspended Klopfer's license indefinitely in 2015 on allegations he failed to provide qualified personnel to monitor patients during procedures and had performed abortions on two 13-year-old girls, the station reported in 2016.

"Well let me put it this way, the Attorney General's Office and the Right-to-Lifers are in bed together," he told the station at the time.

The coroner's office seized the remains and was conducting an investigation.
