A Las Vegas museum has responded to shocking allegations by a mother who accused them of displaying her son’s dead body.
Kim Erick has insisted the remains of her son, Chris Todd Erick, were plastinated to make up part of an exhibition called Real Bodies.
Chris died in 2012, aged 23. The young man was found deceased in bed at his grandmother’s home in Midlothian, Texas, about 30 miles south of Dallas, where he had been living at the time.
Police informed Kim that her son had died in his sleep after suffering two heart attacks, which they attributed to an undiagnosed heart condition, CBS News reports.
Chris’s father and grandmother arranged for his sudden cremation while Kim was still deep in her grief, later handing Kim a necklace containing what she was told were some of his ashes.
Kim, however, harbored concerns, and they were only intensified when she received a set of police scene photographs that she said showed a series of troubling physical signs never mentioned in the initial report.
“Something very bad happened in that room!” she shared in a Facebook post.
