The Cook County (Ill.) Medical Examiner's office confirmed Monday that
it received 18 human specimens at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
on Monday.
Yes, 18 human heads were found at the Chicago airport.
The specimens (human heads) are still covered in skin and wrapped in
plastic. Somewhat surprisingly, authorities already say no foul play was
suspected.
Sources tell FOX 32 News that they came from Italy, and may have been
sent to be used for some kind of scientific research or a medical
experiment.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection were investigating the matter, but declined to comment Monday night until further information became available.
UPDATE: A spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical
Examiner's Office said early Tuesday that the heads were originally sent
from Illinois to Italy.
The purpose? Medical research. The heads were being returned to Chicago
for disposal as per the agreement. They are now scheduled for
cremation.
Okay, that's slightly less weird. Slightly.
