Police investigate after organs discovered on sidewalk

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police are investigating the discovery of what they believe are human organs found on the sidewalk not far from Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Someone called police Wednesday evening to report they had found a liver and a kidney on the sidewalk.

Police believe they are human organs but have not yet confirmed that. Nor do they know where the organs came from.

Hospital officials said they had not misplaced any organs, and no one showed up at the emergency room without theirs. Any organs intended for transplant would have been tightly sealed in a container.

Officials say the organs could have come from the Yale anatomy lab, which is around the corner from where the organs were found.
