Today in Cadavers

bodydavinci.jpgA mortuary in Rohnert Park got a restraining order filed against them when it was discovered that they kept decaying bodies on their premises. The authorities were tipped off to the problem when people in the businesses next to the mortuary realized that the awful smell that was coming from next door was decaying bodies and not the KFC/Taco Bell also in the strip mall. So the city sent a couple of inspectors in to check out the sprinkler system and before you could say "abra cadevar," discovered two decaying bodies by a swamp cooler and two others in a garage area. Lest you think the mortuary, that being Abby Chapel of the Redwoods Mortuary, did nothing to prevent the bodies from decaying, the two by the swamp cooler were covered in baby powder.

The bodies in the mortuary were moved to another mortuary in Novato.

Also in cadevar news, two men were arrested for taking cadvers from UCLA and selling them. Man, we just aren't checking the right Cragislist postings. Actually, the men didn't sell them online, but sold them to a bunch of medical, pharmaceutical and hospital research companies. We wonder how that was done. Like in a secret hiding place in downtown LA? Maybe in an undisclosed parking garage? Did they put the bodies in the trunk of the car and transport them that way? And if they did, would that qualify them for the carpool lane? Or did they use UPS? One of the men arrested confessed to walking into the body freezer with a saw and cutting of various bits and pieces of bodies.
