Coronavirus, Deaths, Elderly, Infection, Oregon, Transmission, USA

A man who died of COVID-19 was dissected in front of a paying audience in a Portland, Oregon hotel, and his widow had no idea.

The family of David Saunders, 98, learned of the autopsy from a KING 5 investigation that exposed the Oct. 17 cadaver class in Portland, Oregon. A similar event in Seattle was cancelled.

Event organizers sold tickets for up to $500 to the public to view in-person the autopsy and dissection of a human body. The event is part of the Oddities and Curiosities Expo, which travels across the country.
