The New York funeral parlor body stealing scheme was uncovered by a NYC Detective who noticed a concealed operating room within the funeral home when he approached the owner about a fraud charge. The police became suspicious and the grisly scheme finally came to light.
Bones like these two samples from a "tissue bank" fetch high prices in the medical field. A growing Black Market has arisen trafficking in such body parts because, unlike organs that have to be taken from a live donor, tissue, bones, and ligaments can be harvested from corpses. Biomedical Tissue Services, whose founder has been arrested, would receive upwards of $7,000 dollars for the tissues from each body supplied by the alleged crooked funeral home director Joseph Nicelli.
