The photos showed 12 bodies posed with such props as sea shells, a key and sheet music. Dr. Parrott said he was stunned when police showed him the photos. Not only is it probably illegal, it's immoral. I don't know what this guy's purpose was. Mr. Condon's lawyer, H. Louis Sirkin, has said the purpose was to create a work of art.
Prosecutors disagree, and say criminal charges are possible.
While prosecutors do their work, Dr. Parrott is trying to figure out what went wrong and how he can fix it. He would not discuss the criminal investigation, but the recent suspension of a morgue pathologist suggests an insider may have helped Mr. Condon get past security. It either has to be my own code, or somebody has to let me in. Prosecutors believe Mr. Condon got access to the morgue sometime after he approached Dr. Parrott about photographing an autopsy procedure. Dr. Parrott rejected the request, but Mr. Condon got in anyway.
