Body parts mistakenly delivered to home

? Two packages containing human body parts – including a liver and part of a head – meant for a medical research lab instead were delivered to a home.

The body parts, sent from China, were mistakenly dropped off Thursday at Franck and Ludivine Larmande’s home by a DHL express driver who believed the bubble-wrapped items were pieces to a table.

“My husband started to unwrap one and said, ‘This is strange, it looks like a liver,”‘ Ludivine Larmande said. “He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.

“Something wasn’t right. It was scary, and I’m glad I didn’t open them.”

The couple called Kent County sheriff’s deputies, who determined the preserved body parts were for medical research, Lt. Roger Parent said.

Authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs and body parts could be dispersed across the country, the newspaper said. Two of five packages headed to the northern Michigan lab broke open, scattering their contents.
