Authorities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport is holding a shipment of 18 human heads, still covered in skin, which was shipped from Rome before Christmas.
Customs officials halted the heads for investigation before handing them over to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

The heads were en route to a research facility near Chicago, but there was a glitch in the paperwork.
"They were all properly preserved and tagged for the purpose of anatomical study," Brucci said. "The paperwork just isn't properly done."
Researchers in Rome had been using the embalmed heads but shipped them to the United States for cremation at a facility near Chicago.
"The crematory has done nothing wrong. In fact, they were just here to hand all the paperwork over, and we're satisfied everything is on the up-and-up," Brucci told ABC News. "We are releasing them back to the crematory soon."

The somewhat grisly discovery apparently wasn't all that unusual. Doctors, medical facilities and research organizations often ship human body parts, said Brucci. This shipment raised flags because of the paperwork problem.
"This isn't as strange as it sounds," Brucci said. "People ship body parts to universities and hospitals all the time, we just don't usually hear much about it."
In 2010, a shipment of up to 60 human heads and parts of heads was seized at an airport in Arkansas.
Those heads were intended for medical training but were stopped in transit because of improper packaging and errors in the paperwork.

“There’s no issue with the transportation of body parts for medical purposes,” Brian Bell, a spokesman with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, told the Sun-times. “There’s nothing against the law that says you cannot ship them, provided you have the right documentation.

“Everybody here is ‘Oh my gosh, you got a box of heads’ and everybody thinks that it’s unheard of,” Bell added. “It is a potentially legitimate medical shipment. We’ve seen it at various ports in the nation.”
