Hundreds of Body Parts Found in Pensacola Storage Unit

A man in Pensacola, Florida made a rather unwelcome discovery after he bought the contents of a storage unit, at auction.

When he entered the unit he noticed a rather horrid stench, and found out why when he investigated.

Hundreds of body parts and organs had been stored in the unit, which had been previously owned by Dr. Michael Berkland.

Berkland formerly was a medical examiner for the state of Florida, from 1997 to 2003.

He had been let go for not filling out autopsy reports and suspicion of carrying out unauthorized autopsies.

Police suspect that the organs may have been stolen from bodies he had worked on, and are searching for Berkland.

Storage unit contents are often put up for auction, if their owner fails to pay for the rent for several years.
