In the rush to harvest body parts, death investigations have been upended

When 69-year-old Marietta Jinde died in September 2016, police had already been called to her home several times because of reports of possible abuse. A detective described conditions at the woman’s home in Gardena as “horrendous.”

She was so emaciated and frail that the hospital asked Los Angeles County adult protective services officials to look into her death.

Yet by the time a coroner’s investigator was able to examine Jinde’s 70-pound body, the bones from her legs and arms were gone. Also missing were large patches of skin from her back. With permission from county officials and saying they did not know of the abuse allegations, employees from OneLegacy, a Southern California human tissue procurement company, had gained access to the body, taking parts that could have provided crucial evidence.

Coroner officials said police did not inform them of the possible abuse complaints until 10 days after Jinde died. They said they were able to complete their investigation by using the autopsy exam, hospital records and photos, and determined that she died of natural causes, including severe heart disease.

After reviewing the autopsy report, Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist who has consulted on many prominent death investigations, questioned the coroner’s ability to make that determination when the bones and skin had already been removed.

“We can’t be sure the bones weren’t fractured,” Wecht said. “This could have been a manslaughter case.”

Someone needs to be tared and feathered for this.

... harvested skin, bone, fat, ligaments and other tissues ... fuel a booming industrial biotech market in which a half-teaspoon of ground-up human skin is priced at $434. ... used in cosmetic surgery to plump lips and posteriors, fill cellulite dimples and enhance penises. A single body can supply raw materials for products that sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I’ve noticed recently that a “suicide watch” doesn’t appear to be what most originally thought it was.

Put the guy who “should be dead” for his crimes into a room with a broken security camera and (allegedly) delinquent guards, and watch the “suicide” happen.

Another idea from science fiction coming true. Wonder if they will call them “organleggers”?

so when you kiss those plump lips of your woman, you really could be kissing a bit of someone’s ground up ass.
