AZ Central News – A head sewn onto a mismatched body, a bucket of limbs and a cooler filled with male genitalia are among items found by FBI agents during a raid on a Phoenix body-donation business.
The now-shuttered, for-profit Biological Resource Center specialized in accepting the bodies of people after they died, in exchange for free pickup of the bodies then receiving the cremated remains of the body parts the company did not sell.
A regulatory-free zone for the body-parts industry, at least four body donation companies operate in Arizona, in addition to a non-profit cryonics company that freezes cadavers with the intent of one day bringing them back to life.
