HENDERSON, Texas — An East Texas man is jailed after sheriff’s deputies said he was keeping his mother’s body wrapped in a tarpaulin in their front yard. Jeremy David Cassin is in the Rusk County Jail charged with corpse abuse. If the 42-year-old Henderson man is convicted, he could be sentenced to up to two years in state jail. Online jail records list no attorney for Cassin. Rusk County Sheriff Jeff Price tells KYTX-TV of Tyler that Cassin’s grandmother called deputies from Houston after Cassin told her that her daughter, 63-year-old Karen Cassin, had died.
