An Arkansas coroner was investigating after a cargo shipment of 40 to 60 human heads was discovered by a Southwest Airlines employee, NBC DFW reported Thursday.

The container of heads was found in Little Rock, Ark., last Wednesday and was set for transportation to a Medtronic research lab in Fort Worth, Texas.

"It wasn't labeled or packaged properly," Ashley Rogers, a Southwest spokeswoman, told NBC DFW. "They called the local authorities."

Police were called by the airline, who investigated before turning them over to the county coroner.

A spokesman for Medtronic told NBC DFW it was common practice to ship body parts for medical education and research, adding his firm expected suppliers to follow proper procedures.

Pulaski County Coroner Garland Camper, charged with the investigation, said he was waiting for the correct documentation to prove the heads were for medical research before releasing them.

"In our discussion with the health department, we've come to the conclusion that there is a black market for body parts out there," he was quoted as saying by NBC.

"We just want to make sure these specimens aren't part of that underground trade."

Something unbelievable for my ears.

I didn't believe the title of this thread for a minute there, entering in and reading that content just makes me feel uneasy. I've never heard of something like that and it has definitely blown me away and made my eyes remain wide open.

You know, of all things to label correctly, you'd think that would be pretty high on the list...

Y'all act like you haven't seen 40-60 human heads before. Seriously.

 

[SheepishWolf]

Um, never just human heads without the body, yes I have never seen that 😉

"Who is the owner of these human heads" "Oh that's me, problem officer?"

 

[Wrecks]

Makes me think of the Highlander films.

Some how, Chuck Norris MUST be related to this.

That was great.. lol

Also I'd like to know what is the proper procedure for shipping heads as they state they were not packaged correctly..

If I was on that plane, I would be grossed out 😛

"Heads on a plane"...far better title than them bloomin snakes :lol:

It kind of reminds me of a scandal we had here a while back where human body parts were being removed without consent after death, The medical industry does a lot of stuff we just wouldn't expect. A very interesting story though. 😉

I think the lady in that doesn't take it seriously enough - collecting heads like this is immoral. While it may seem funny initially, if you think about it, would you like your head to be taken off and shipped away when you die?

I doubt they announced it to all the passengers.

That completely grossed me out. How do you even package 40-60 heads?

 

[MissTake]

It was probably a cargo plane anyway 😉

It was a cargo plane..or they were probably unloading the packages or something. 😛
