Tennessee workers find human heart in salt depot
Initial reports indicated the heart might belong to an adult male, but state investigators are asking the public for more information
Workers making brine at a salt depot in Tennessee made a grotesque discovery last week when they found a desiccated human heart, prompting a law enforcement investigation.
The organ was found in a salt mound at a department of transportation salt facility in McEwen, Tennessee, about 60 miles south-west of Nashville, state officials said.
