Overview
- The Hopkinsville resident expecting time-sensitive medicine opened a parcel containing two human arms and four fingers packed on ice.
- She called 911, and Christian County coroner Scott Daniel collected the remains and took them to the local morgue.
- Daniel said the specimens came from four individuals and were intended for a school or hospital in Nashville for surgical training.
- A courier later retrieved the package from the morgue, though officials have not identified the companies or people involved.
- The woman received her correct medication about a day later, and authorities advise anyone in a similar situation to contact police rather than handle the material.
