'Human Ear' Found in Street
By Pat Hurst, PA
A severed human ear has been found in a city street, police said today.
The discovery has baffled detectives after builders came across the ear on a pavement near Strangeways Prison in Manchester.
Police have checked with hospitals but no-one has been admitted without an ear and no-one has come forward to claim it.
No other body parts were found after a search of the area.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police were informed of what is believed to be a human ear discovered on Great Ducie Street, Strangeways.
“The item has been removed and initial visual identification indicates it may be a human ear.
“It has been sent for forensic tests.”
Experts will now run tests to try to discover the owner of the ear.
Detectives want to make sure it is human ear after a similar find a number of years ago of what was thought to be a human finger turned out to be a sausage.

I have friend who lost most of her outer ear in a car wreck about 30 years ago. Maybe she could use it.
