ESSEX, England, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- A British mother has received damages from a hospital where a receptionist handed her an envelope containing skin and tissue from her stillborn baby.

"I can't believe anybody could be so unfeeling as to behave in this way," Danielle Tivey, 27, said in a statement reported by the Daily Mirror Tuesday.

The newspaper said she had to fight for eight months to get the remains of her son Tommy, who was stillborn, when she gave birth to his healthy twin, Alfy, in January 2007 at Southend Hospital in Essex.

She received "substantial damages," the Mirror said, but did not disclose the amount.

The poor dude that lost a leg in an accident and a paramedic took the leg home to train cadaver dogs---

Just one of the darnedest stuff that comes across the wire of news.
