Title
Body parts taken without consent for museum display, coroner finds
Abstract
A Tasmanian coroner has released his findings from an investigation into 177 human specimens held in the collection of a university museum without the consent or knowledge of families. The investigation required complex manual searches and reconciliation of records with "very little additional resources" provided to the Coroners' Office to do the work.
