Med Student Splits Class After Realizing He Knew The Cadaver

A medical student at Nigeria’s University of Calabar got the shock of his life during one of his classes. Enya Egbe and his classmates were given the assignment of dissecting the bodies of three cadavers. Things turned bad, however, when he saw that one of the bodies was a friend of his...and that he had two bullet holes in his chest. It turns out, the friend’s family had contacted three different police stations in search of their son, and that, in turn, has led to much deeper investigations into what happened, who was responsible, how bodies are handled, and the processes involved in turning corpses over to medical schools.
