New horrific details of body donor business in Phoenix
Several years have passed since Biological Resource Center in Arizona shut its doors but according to Abc Action News, new court documents detail the hidden horror investigators found inside.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) raided the donor facility in Phoenix in 2014 after allegations that the company was selling parts of those donated bodies for profit, Abc Action News reported.
Former FBI Special Agent Mark Cwynar’s testimony said he observed buckets of the head, arms, and legs inside the building off 24th Sreet and University Drive.
According to Abc Action News, Cwynar also said he saw a “cooler filled with male genitalia,” body parts piled on top of each other with no apparent identification to indicate what bodies they came from, even a torso “with the head removed and replaced with a similar head sewn together in a Frankenstein manner.”
At least eight families that donated the bodies of their loved ones to the facility for medical research are now suing the company and its owner, Stephen Gore for mishandling their corpses and failing to meet the promises made in their consent forms.
Abc Action News stated Gore pleaded guilty in October 2015 to federal charges of conducting an illegal enterprise and was sentenced to one year of deferred jail time, four years of probation, and ordered to pay $121,000 in restitution.
Gore will appear in court in October to face several Arizona families who have filed civil suits against him.
