Christian County Resident Finds Cadaver Parts in Misdelivered Package

Authorities describe an accidental private-courier mix-up involving multiple parties.

Overview

  • Around 8 p.m. Wednesday, a woman in Christian County, Kentucky opened a delivery and discovered human remains inside.
  • The coroner said the box contained two arms and four fingers packed on ice.
  • Officials determined the shipment was meant for a medical training facility rather than a private home.
  • The sheriff’s office is treating the incident as an accident, and the remains have been redirected to the correct destination.
  • A private courier handled the delivery, not USPS or FedEx, the company has not been identified publicly, and the resident later received the medical supplies she was expecting.
