Body dug up for bong to be reburied

KHOU.com staff report

HUMBLE, Texas -- The boy whose grave was desecrated allegedly by pot-smoking teenagers in Humble, will be buried again on Saturday.

Members of Grace Church in Humble will oversee the reburial. Willie Simms was 11 years old when he died in 1921.

Three teens are accused of digging up his body, decapitating the head and turning the skull into a marijuana bong.

They're each charged with abuse of a corpse.

Members of the Grace Church have made it a project to join with other houses or worship to clean up the abandoned cemetery where Simms was buried.

Meanwhile, authorities are still seeking out any blood relatives of Simms who may still be alive.
