Read about a strange scam involving dead bodies & I was shocked. The “dead body scam” usually refers to the illegal procurement and sale of human bodies, often unclaimed bodies from hospitals, mortuaries, crematoria, or even manipulated body donations to private medical institutions. The main reason is shortage of cadavers for medical education and training.
Police have caught few brokers and mortuary staff linked to such scam.

Scams like that still happen in smaller towns here. A few years ago someone found a dump site with a bunch of skeletons and partial cadavers... I don't know if they ever found out where the bodies came from.

@Rimps85 True. Any way to make money and not get caught when it's illegal.
