Disturbing details emerge in the case of the unethical treatment and sale of donated cadavers

April 02, 2022

 Scattered and piled around the facility were severed pieces and parts of donated bodies. A cooler box filled with severed penises was discovered, disembodied arms and legs were found in piles with no record of which limb belonged to which donor, piles of severed heads, fluids and bloods that had mixed and pooled in the freezers used to improperly store the cadavers and most disturbingly, some of the bodies appeared to have been stitched together to create what is being described in the media as “Frankenstein-like” creations. Hung up on one of the walls was the torso of a large man sewn together and crowned with the head of a much smaller woman in what the FBI believe was an attempt at a sick and freakish joke. An agent described the body parts as “infected”. The bodies were said to be improperly stored and badly preserved and no formal protocol to document them had even been attempted.

 Instruments and tools such as chainsaws and electric saws were recovered from the lab, illustrating the crude way in which Gore had dismembered the cadavers before selling the parts to various middlemen. A report in the Times states that families were clearly lied to or deliberately mislead about what exactly would happen to the remains of the relatives. They were informed that the cadavers would be used for specific purposes, mainly research on diseases like Leukemia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, when in reality they would be sold for something much different, like military testing, without their consent. Donated cadavers are often used to test military safety equipment but specific forms must be signed in order to do so.
