The remains were found Thursday at his home in Will County, Illinois, about 72 kilometres from Chicago, local media said.
An attorney representing his family called the Will County coroner's office to inform them the family had discovered what appeared to be the remains of foetuses and ask for assistance in properly removing them, the Will County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
When detectives arrived at the address, they found the preserved foetal remains. The coroner's office took them and the family is cooperating fully with the investigation, the statement said.
