A Southwest Airlines employee called police after finding human heads in a package set to be transported to a Fort Worth medical research company, the airline said.
"It wasn't labeled or packaged properly," said Ashley Rogers, a Southwest spokeswoman. "They called the local authorities."
The incident happened in Little Rock, Ark., last Wednesday, she said.
Little Rock police turned the package over to the county coroner, who questions where they came from and if they were properly obtained.
"We've come to the conclusion that there is a black market out there for human body parts for research or for whatever reason," said Pulaski County coroner Garland Camper. "We just want to make sure these specimens here aren't a part of that black market and underground trade."
Medtronic spokesman Brian Henry said it is common to ship body parts for medical education and research, but he said it is rare for a shipment to be seized.
"We expect our suppliers to follow proper procedures," he said.
Camper described the items as 40 to 60 human heads. More
Well Finding this would pretty much destroy my life.
Thank god it was for medical research and not a crazy psycho murderer. But imagine the first one to discover this? It would start a barf-a-rama. Instant vomit and terror all over the place. I wouldn't be able to come back to work for a while and I'd probably end up hanging myself.
And whats the deal with 40-60 heads? 10-20 isn't enough to do the research?
