Abandoned autopsy lab in Tobolsk, Siberia still has medical records, human remains

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Dissent

This is a somewhat bizarre – and disturbing – breach involving medical records and human remains.

Police have launched an investigation after an abandoned autopsy laboratory containing mummified baby remains was discovered in a park. The gruesome facility in Tobolsk, which may have been used as recently three years ago, was stumbled across by a medical college student who noticed a building with open doors after a tip off. Inside he saw glass jars containing human organs, bones, and the remains of babies with scars after surgical procedures.

There were ‘withered corpses’ of babies, according to local news website Tobolsk.info.

Slides used for blood tests, files and surgical books were also among the debris of the rundown building, while one plastic bottle on a shelf was dated January 2012.

As the student Georgy Grigorchuk wandered around the building he also found an empty morgue and documents outlining the medical histories and post-mortem procedures of all the patients, including family names and personal details.
