Lloyd Tucker Jr. told Fox 26 Houston that he was outside his home Sunday morning on his way to run some errands when he made a disconcerting discovery: a partially open casket sitting in a ditch at the intersection of Hillis St. and Parkette Drive near Tidwell. Road.
Tucker said the coffin wasn’t there the night before.
Fortunately, the coffin was empty, but Tucker wanted it removed as soon as possible.
“Someone has to come get him, he can’t stay there,” he told Fox 26.

The man, who has lived in the area for more than 50 years, said nothing like this had ever happened and he feels “violated.”
“I just want to know who would do something like that,” Tucker said, adding that it makes the neighborhood look bad.
He also said that the area is not a common place for people to throw things.
