Body parts sent to wrong address

Body parts from China intended for a US laboratory have been mistakenly sent to a Michigan home by a delivery firm.

The recipient, in Cascade near Grand Rapids, said her husband opened two packages - one containing a liver, the other a partial human head.

"He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear," she told the Grand Rapids Press newspaper.

The delivery company, DHL, said it was not immediately clear what happened but the labels were reportedly in Chinese.

The authorities believe 28 more bubble-wrapped human organs could have been dispersed across the country.
