Body parts delivered to Michigan home - Yahoo! News


CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Two packages containing human body parts — including a liver and part of a head — meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a home.

The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday at Franck and Ludivine Larmande's home by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.
"My husband started to unwrap one and said, 'This is strange, it looks like a liver,'" Ludivine Larmande said. "He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.
"Something wasn't right. It was scary, and I'm glad I didn't open them."
The couple called Kent County sheriff's deputies, who determined the preserved body parts were for medical research, Lt. Roger Parent said.


Authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs and body parts could be dispersed across the country, The Grand Rapids Press reported. Two of five packages headed to the northern Michigan lab broke open, scattering their contents.
"There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health," Parent said.
DHL is investigating whether it should have shipped the body parts and how the packages were dispersed, spokesman Robert Mints said.


Ok someone tell me this, if "Authorities" believe that there is 28 more body parts out there just floating around, what the hell are they doing to relocate them? If I had a family member to leave their body to science, I would be so trippin right now. "Who knows where uncle Jon's feet or pancreas is now, but hey, he always loved to travel" Seriously, does it not seem that there should be a way of tracking where the other 'parts' are. Funny how the authorities don't seem to be in much of a rush to find them. Guess they plan to just wait till some old lady has a heart attack when the FexEx truck pulls away.

Wow, just Wow.

I don't know if I'd be horrified or stoked. Probably a mixture of both.

You know, this is not funny, but it's funny and terrifying. Almost on the side of ridiculas. I'm sitting here scratching my head.
