Phillyburbs.com: Police: Breast buried at Pa. church belonged to cancer victim
MEADVILLE, Pa. - Workers renovating a church unearthed a package of medical waste that contained a woman's breast, and police believe it was buried there by someone who had cancer.
Officials at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Meadville told police it may have been put there by a woman 10 to 15 years ago who had requested prayers for healing of breast cancer, Meadville police Detective Sgt. Craig Gump said Friday.
"Unitarian worship dens are like a box of chocolates..."
Church officials told investigators they do not believe the woman was given permission to bury the breast, which would violate a city ordinance governing the burial of human tissue. But police suspect the woman may have done so anyway, Gump said.
An Erie County pathologist examined the tissue, which was dug up Wednesday by construction crews, and confirmed it was clearly the product of a medical procedure, Gump said. There were medical labels on the plastic package, but police were unable to determine where the surgery took place, Gump said.
Police do not know the woman's name but were told by church officials that she has since moved from the area. Police decided to close the case Friday because they're confident no serious crime was committed, Gump said.
