"...there was no specific law against steeling a body part."

I'd like to see how that's done.

If the victim, whose foot she stole, was not deceased, this is a pretty horrendous act. That severed foot could well have been reattached.

If the victim was deceased, it’s still macabre and should be illegal without informed consent. I know my mother and I, as executor, were thoroughly set upon within hours of my father’s death last year. He was an organ donor, but they wanted more. Very high pressure, kept us on the phone for over an hour, while we were still reeling and stunned. The jerks. You can’t tell me there’s not a lot of money in this, somewhere.

The funeral director advised us, off the record, not to accede to their requests. She said there was often not much left to work with ... take that however you will, but it certainly put us off.

“law against steeling a body part”

Is there a law against ironing it?

He lived. They valued his foot at $100.

My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
I never find him home

I go to his house
Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don’t live here no more

My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Always likes to roam
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Now he has no home

Where will Foot Foot go
What will Foot Foot do
Oh, Foot Foot
I wish I could find you

I’ve looked here, I’ve looked there
I’ve looked everywhere
Oh, Foot Foot
Why can’t I find you?

Foot Foot, where can you be?
Foot Foot, why won’t you answer me?
Foot Foot, Oh Foot Foot
Wherever you are
I want you to come home with me

I don’t have time to roam
I have things to do
I have to go home
Oh, Foot Foot, where are you?

If Foot Foot didn’t like to roam so well
He would still have a place to dwell
Foot Foot, please answer me
I know where you are
You’re behind that tree

Foot Foot, please come to me
Foot Foot, now that you’re here
Won’t you come home
Foot Foot, promise me this
That you will never again roam

There is no Port St. Lucie Fire District. It is the St. Lucie Fire District. Port St. Lucie does not have its own fire department,sheesh.

It is a shame this happened and she was wrong. I know this fire fighter has done a lot of good in her training of cadaver dogs. But there has got to be alternatives to filching accident victim’s body parts.

Sounds like an episode of Six Feet Under.
