Cherokee Bones or Medical Specimens | Tucson News

In a chilling July discovery in Tennessee, property managers found a box of human bones in a garage—some wired together, others with scalpel-like cut marks. Forensics revealed remains from at least five people, including teens and adults, likely used for anatomy lessons, with one buried in a coffin showing embalming stains. Animal bones were also mixed in. The homeowner claimed they were Cherokee remains meant for UT’s teaching collection—but experts say this isn’t a burial or crime scene. Now authorities are working with the University of Tennessee to properly handle, study, and possibly identify the remains through DNA testing.
