Overview
- The Hopkinsville resident opened the box on Oct. 29 to find two arms and four fingers packed on ice.
- Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel retrieved the remains, stored them at the county morgue, and coordinated pickup by the courier.
- The package originated in Nashville and was not meant to leave the city, with parts drawn from four donors, the coroner said.
- The box bore no external indication it contained human remains and was handled by a private carrier rather than regular mail.
- The woman’s medication arrived the next day, and officials advise anyone making a similar discovery to call 911 or local police.
