US authorities have charged four men with looting bones and body parts from more than 1,000 corpses and selling them for medical transplants.I guess I never really thought about using bones from dead people in transplants. Apparently there's a lot of money in the 'doctoring death certificates, stealing people's femurs and replacing them with PVC pipe racket'.
Prosecutors say the defendants made millions of dollars from selling body parts harvested from corpses obtained from Mr Nicelli's funeral home.
Bones, organs and tissue were allegedly sold by Mr Mastromarino's Biomedical Tissue Services Ltd to unwitting clients for implants.
