Morgue Manager Caught Illegally Selling Body Parts

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

So this was the big story in my neck of the woods today: www.wcvb.com/amp/article/harvard-morgue-body-parts-stolen-federal-indictment-boston-massachusetts/44198852

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Examples cited in the indictment include MacLean agreeing to sell two dissected faces for $600 in October 2020 and shipping human skin to Pauley, who was hired in July 2021 to tan the skin to create leather in exchange for more human skin. The skin was subsequently shipped back to MacLean in Massachusetts.

Between Sept. 3, 2018, and July 12, 2021, Taylor made 39 electronic payments, totaling $37.355.56, to a PayPal account controlled by Denise Lodge, the indictment said. A memo attached to a transaction on May 19, 2019, read, "head number 7."

Another transaction was labeled "braiiiiiins."

In different countries it’s not uncommon. For years (still?) it was cheaper to buy a real human skeleton than a replica. IIRC top supplying countries included China and India probably in part due to their huge populations.

Although for all I know that has all been debunked. The most scholarly source I can cite offhand are anecdotal stories from the production of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies

It's not illegal when I have the contracts.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

You can't sell body parts? Man, nobody tells me nothin'.

I love that a literal salesman of body parts didn't know to leave the memo blank

[Johnny B. Decent]

At least he didn't eat and/or rape them, I guess.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Because of course that's what the guy buying them looks like...

[chrom]

Was the buyer Dr. Nick?

He gets there faster when he drives in the carpool lane.

Man, hen I saw the thread title I thought King Ghidorah or paulbearer had returned to the board for a hot minute.

This guy can’t possibly be involved in buying human remains. No sir, I don’t believe it.

[chrom]

Good grief...

Rumour has it a human horn stash located in an undisclosed location on Omicron Percei 8 was sourced to this morgue. The identity of the prime suspect involved has not been disclosed but a quote has surfaced as follows: "Why would a virile male like [redacted] need human horn?"
