A Kentucky woman, expecting medicine and other medical supplies in the mail, instead received a box of human body parts, authorities said Friday.
A package that was meant for “surgical training” went to the wrong address in Hopkinsville on Wednesday — in southwest Kentucky, about 75 miles outside of Nashville, Tennessee, officials said.
“Yes, true story. She was expecting medical supplies and found arms and fingers in the box," Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel said in a statement to NBC News.
"The box was intended to be delivered for surgical training but was somehow delivered to her front porch."
Daniel lent a helping hand to the macabre foul up and took control of the wayward remains.
The woman ultimately ended up receiving the correct package.
"We were able to reach the courier, who retrieved the package the following morning," Daniel said.
"I left the scene with the box and stored it in our morgue until he arrived. The resident of the home was able to get her meds and medical supplies the following day as well."
