Police probe source of mummified body auctioned on eBay

MEDICAL examiners and law enforcement officials in Michigan are working to determine the origins of mummified human skeletal remains confiscated from the home of a woman who police say was trying to sell them on eBay.

The St Clair County medical examiner’s office claimed the remains earlier this week from the Port Huron home of Lynn Sterling, 45.

“We got a call from a person in North Carolina who happened to have spotted it on eBay, and they called and told us that there was a mummy for sale on eBay,” said police Captain Don Porrett.
