Just in time for Halloween, kiddies...
Trial opens in lawsuit over ‘Frankenstein’ use of remains
Quote:
A retired FBI agent described a horrific raid of now-closed body donation facility Monday, recalling a table stacked with severed human legs, heads stuffed in a cooler, and torsos without heads and limbs.
Mark Cwynar testified on the opening day of a civil trial that one torso had its head removed and a smaller head sewn on, comparing the discovery to a character from Frankenstein.

Quote:
Company owner Stephen Douglas Gore pleaded guilty in October 2015 to a felony charge for his role in mishandling donated body parts.
Though Gore has denied the allegations in the lawsuit, he acknowledged when pleading guilty that his company provided vendors with human tissue that was contaminated and used the donations in ways that went against the wishes of the donors.

Quote:
Attorney David TeSelle, who represents the families who filed the lawsuit, told jurors the facility promised donor families their relatives’ remains would be used for medical research and treated with respect and dignity.
TeSelle said the families weren’t told the bodies would be cut up, sold to third parties for profit and used in ways that the families wouldn’t have approved of. He showed jurors the business’ price list, noting a torso without a head went for $4,000.
