New Mexico in the news (sigh)

April Fool's Day was fun.
Now it's back to real news, such as it is.
Medical waste shipments turn up heads, torsos

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The first discovery was gruesome enough: a head and torso tucked inside a red biohazard tub that arrived at a Kansas company. Then it got worse.

Six more heads and torsos showed up in the next week after someone apparently dismembered the bodies with a chain saw or another cutting device, police said.

Authorities are investigating a New Mexico company that was supposed to have donated the organs in the bodies to science and had the remains cremated. The owner of the Albuquerque company, Paul Montano, was arrested Thursday.

  1. This makes everyone who's had a loved one cremated (and I've had two) wonder if it's done right. There needs to be much stronger oversight on this.
