3 Suspects Used Corpse Skull To Make Bong

Police have charged three suspects accused of using the skull of a corpse buried in a Kingwood cemetery to make a bong. Kevin Wade Jones, 17, Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, and a 16-year-old boy were all charged with one count of desecrating a corpse. The suspects are accused of digging up the skull of an 11-year-old boy buried in a cemetery for African American war veterans and using it to smoke marijuana. This is the tombstone of an 11-year-old who died in 1921 and whose body was exhumed.The suspects allegedly used a shovel to lop off the skull and then cut off the jaw and used electrical tape to create the bong. Houston Police Department officials are not releasing the name of the deceased corpse because they are still trying to contact family members. The boy died Sept. 11, 1921. His skull has not been recovered.
