Autopsy Today On Body Found Without Organs
by KYW's John McDevitt
An autopsy is expected to be completed on Sunday on a gruesome body found with several organs cut out of it.
The unidentified man's body was found Friday night. Police aren't sure if they're dealing with a murder or an abuse of a corpse case. They say a man looking for scrap metal inside an abandoned house on 8th near Jefferson Streets discovered the body.
The man, Homicide Captain Charles Bloom says, called police and they in- turn contacted the medical examiner. "When the medical examiner arrived, they turned the body over to carry him out and they discovered he had been cut -- basically from the bottom of his neck to the base of his stomach...and some internal organs apparently had been removed."
The medical examiner says the victim is believed to be in his 30's and had been dead for about a day or two. The exact cause of death and when his organs were removed is still be determined.
