A Long Island woman has filed a $4 million lawsuit against the Mount Sinai Medical Center, its Conte Center for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders, and the Suffolk County medical examiner's office for removing her husband's brain after his death two years ago. Mozelle Purifoy of Central Islip says that neither she nor her husband Tom had ever agreed for his organs to be donated before his suicide in 2006. Yet on the day of his funeral she learned that he was being buried minus one key part. Even though she claims that the chief Suffolk medical examiner met with her last year and told her that it should have been returned, she still doesn't know where the brain is. "It's ghoulish. It's bizarre. It's just one trauma after the next," Purifoy said.





Wow.
BRAAAAINS!!!
$4 million for dead brain is way too much.
This is a growing area of tort litigation: the 'tearjerking unrepatriated remains claim'. In the real world, it was just some miscellaneous infectious medical waste that got bagged and incinerated, but in Legal Wingo Bingo World, it's a horrible, apalling and unchristian taking of precious body bits and worthy of $4.whatever million.
How much would she be asking for if they cut off his dick and lost it?
