Devastated families may take legal action over museum that kept body parts
Abstract
A University of Tasmania pathology museum retained and displayed body parts without consent from coronial autopsies. The specimens are from more than 100 people who died in Tasmania between 1953 and 1985. The Coroner's Office is investigating and has spent years reconciling their records with the museum's records.
