Coffeebreak: "Police on Long Island, N.Y., were trying to determine how a grieving family was given a bag containing a human leg instead of the dead man's effects. Police received a frantic call from Mr. Runyan, 35, who made the gruesome discovery. His 77-year-old father, Paul, had died at Central Suffolk Hospital barely a week after learning he had cancer. A blue tag hanging from the toe bore the name of another man and was dated Jan. 13. Detectives learned a hospital worker had turned over the plastic bag to an employee at a funeral home, which immediately denied any involvement in the mix-up. The investigation is continuing, although it appears to be non-criminal, said Detective Best. The hospital launched its own investigation as well, their spokeswoman said. God knows how that can be confused with a bag of clothing," Runyan said. Okay you tell me...Did anyone bother to look in the bag before they handed it over to the family? This is creepy guess everyone better check out our bag, just like we do at the fast-food drive-thru before we leave to make sure we don't have the wrong bag...LOL"
