HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (WDKY) — A Kentucky woman got a grisly surprise just days before Halloween when a package containing human body parts showed up at her door.

On Thursday, Oct. 30, the Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel told Nexstar’s WDKY that the body parts she’d received by mistake the previous day were from a cadaver and meant for surgical training, not transplant.

“We never know what kind of call we’re going to get, they’re all over the place, but last night was a little different,” Daniel told radio station WKDZ the following day. “We had a resident here in Hopkinsville who opened the box – it was supposed to be some urgent medical supplies – and when she opened the box she found human arms and fingers.”

The coroner said the woman was “obviously a little shook” after opening the cardboard box, which contained four fingers and two arms, packed in plastic ice packs.

Daniel said the woman called deputies with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, who responded and notified the coroner’s office.

Officials reportedly took the cadaver parts to the morgue on Wednesday morning and contacted the carrier, making arrangements to get them to their proper destination.

Daniel said the parts were shipped from Nashville and wound up at the wrong address after a courier mix-up, adding that Hopkinsville officials ensured that the woman ultimately received the supplies she was waiting for, according to the Lexington-Herald Leader.
