Bangkok: A package delivery company in Bangkok put three packages bound for the United States through a routine X-ray and made a startling discovery, inside were a variety of preserved human parts, including an infant's head, a baby's foot and an adult heart.

The company, DHL, alerted police who tracked down the sender, a 31-year-old American tourist who said he found the items at a Bangkok night market, police Col Chumpol Poompuang said. "He said he thought the body parts were bizarre and wanted to send them to his friends in the US," Chumpol said, adding that the man was questioned for several hours and released without charges.
