Body Willed To Carry Doctor Proves Useless
Local man Harry Biscoff died May 28 and left his body to Dr. John Brown for medical research. The will reached probate in Erie County but the body was partially embalmed before the bequest was learned, rendering it unusable. The State Anatomical Board in Harrisburg said embalming halted any medical use, as Erie County typically sends unclaimed or unidentified bodies to the board. Biscoff's $1,000 estate goes to Lutheran Cemetery Inc for burial plot care and fence painting every three years.
