Five human heads wrapped in plastic were found gruesomely stashed in a freezer at a Russian medical center — with the troubling discovery reportedly tied to a body parts operation on the black-market.
The severed remains were allegedly stolen from hospital morgues before turning up tightly wrapped in polyethylene in a grim underground room at a Moscow anatomy training center on Suzdalskaya Street Friday, the US Sun reported.
Harrowing footage captured officers peeling back the plastic wrapping to shockingly uncover the heads.
Authorities said the body parts were snatched from area morgues before being used as medical training specimens to teach advanced techniques in facial surgery.
Investigators believe they were stored at the facility for about a week prior to the raid, according to the outlet.
The grisly case has since been linked to a broader criminal probe into an alleged illegal corpse-trafficking ring based at Alexandrovskaya Hospital in St. Petersburg.
Russian authorities arrested Andrei Kavetsky, head of the hospital’s pathology department, earlier this year for allegedly supplying bodies and biomaterials to the “Anabioz” firm for about 500,000 rubles — or roughly $6,300 — per month, the outlet reported.
The company’s founder, Stanislav Maslov, was also detained.

3 to go. I can’t give up now. That duffel bag had better be full.
A decorator could have worked out a cheery concept with light colors and subdued lighting.
And a rug that would have tied the whole room together.
Imagine working in a place like that.
That’s the kind of job, you should probably leave off of your resume.
“Oh, you did inventory for a Medical Freezer?
That sounds interesting. What were your duties?”
Hope they are okay
Moscow anatomy training center.
“Move along folks… nothing to see here…”
I am willing to bet this is far more common than people think. If a family requests a closed casket funeral who is to say that body parts were not sold?
Yes to what you said. No doubt this is more common that we think.
🎜 ...Ain’t got nobody... 🎝

“ I was in charge of reducing overstock and keeping a low headcount to decrease costs. I got employee of the month twice. “

Dollars to donuts it traces back to Planned Parenthood!
Heads will roll for this!
Little do they know, he means it literally!
Strangely, there are no pics showing his former work site, except from outside the building.
Good one Frank. You haven’t lost you wit,
