Funeral home owner jailed for selling body parts

A former funeral home owner has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for dissecting hundreds of bodies and selling the parts.

Megan Hess, 46, pleaded guilty in July to defrauding relatives of the dead by dissecting 560 corpses and selling body parts without permission. Hess had operated a funeral home, Sunset Mesa, and a body parts entity, Donor Services, from the same building in Montrose, Colorado.
