A shipment of 18 human heads, still covered in skin, was held at Chicago O'Hare International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Customs officials halted the heads for investigation before handing them over to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
"We are involved because they can't store them any longer," Tony Brucci, chief of investigations at the medical examiner's office told ABC News.
"We'll be examining the heads in the autopsy room today, but there is no foul play suspected in the collection of the heads."
The heads were en route to a research facility near Chicago, but there was a glitch in the paperwork. "They were all properly preserved and tagged for the purpose of anatomical study," Brucci said. "The paperwork just isn't properly done."
Researchers in Rome had been using the embalmed heads but shipped them to the United States for cremation at a facility near Chicago. I can imagine the stunned look on their faces when they found the heads, Lol!
