A Southwest Airlines employee called police after finding 40 to 60 human heads in a package set to be transported to a Fort Worth medical research company, the airline said.
"It wasn't labeled or packaged properly," said Ashley Rogers, a Southwest spokeswoman. "They called the local authorities."
The incident happened in Little Rock, Ark., last Wednesday, she said.
Little Rock police turned the heads over to the county coroner, who questions where they came from and if they were properly obtained.

I've been looking for a little one.
I'm guessing the top of the neck, but I'm no doctor.
ROFL! I guess it could depend on the gender..............
Case of “HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR...”
I'm guessing the heads weren't talking.
Unfortunately there is no CSI unit in Little Rock to investigate. The CSI unit was shut down as being totally ineffective in Little Rock for two reasons:
(1) there are no dental records for identifying people; and
(2) all the DNA samples are too closely matched to differentiate any suspects or victims from one another.
So FReeper FRiends, if a headhunter consultant from Wynne, Arkansas calls asking if you’re looking for a new opportunity in the medical field, hang up immediately!
That is funny.....
So that's how you get ahead in the medical business?
Were they the American Standard “heads” or were they those damned low volume heads?
They just need a wink and a nod.
So that’s how you get ahead in the medical business?
bada...bing!
If they make a movie about this, would the title have to be, “Heads On A Plane”?
I have a friend from Columbia college who got his M.D. and entered the Public Health Service in the Rio Grande Valley. One of his jobs was doing research on crop duster pilots who crashed. “There are old crop dusters and bold crop dusters but there are no old bold crop dusters.”
Anyway, as part of the investigation he’d bring the head to San Antonio for analysis at Wilfred Hall AFB hospital. He carried on the plane with him, packed in dry ice in a small foam beer cooler.
I’d pick him up at the airport and give him a ride to the base. One time we decided to stop at a local gin mill for a beer. After we sat down, the waitress came over and said we couldn’t bring beer into the joint, pointing to the cooler.
Hatcher was a bit of a nut at times and told her it wasn’t beer, it was a head. She insisted so he opened the top and let her have a look. Despite my insistance that he was a PHS official and this was research, I could tell she wasn’t buying it.
Sure enough, within a few minutes we were jacked up against the wall and spent some time downtown explaining to a skeptical detective.
“Heads fly free”
That will be the next TV commercial. The rampers yelling at an Airtran plane,
“Why do you charge for heads?!”
I bet you have, Laz........ ;-)
Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: It is possible that he could have been alive and practising law somewhere.
Whoa! Some story! LOL! Sounds like things quickly came to a head!
To save a minute
you need your head
Your brains is in it!
