A ‘bone collector’ has been accused of selling their dead friends’ skulls and body parts on Facebook marketplace.
According to the FBI, James Nott also slept with a head in his bed at his Mount Washington, Kentucky, US home.
Using a fake profile of a man named “William Burke”, Nott allegedly advertised human skulls for sale – with one advert dated in June.
The FBI was tipped off to the 40-year-old’s activity during their investigation into an illicit ring of human body part traders, linked to Harvard Medical School.
The former morgue manager at the prestigious school, Cedric Lodge, was fired for allegedly stealing “heads, brains, skin and bones” from cadavers that were donated to the school.
Nott would ship nationally, with the exception of three states – Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana.
One of the human skulls was advertised as having an “autopsy cut” and was missing a slice off the top.
