It may sound like a horror movie, but it's real
PITTSBURGH - Dozens of women who had abortions or miscarried have contacted the coroner's office to see if their fetuses were among 300 discovered in the garage of a home where a suspended funeral director once lived.
The fetuses were found last week in cardboard boxes, plastic bags and Tupperware-like containers inside the padlocked garage of the home of Robert B. Winston Jr.'s ex-wife.
Winston and his former funeral home, Newman-Winston Memorial Chapel, had a contract with Magee-Womens Hospital from 1999 to 2002 to dispose of fetuses by having them cremated, authorities said.
The fetuses — which range in gestational age from 16 weeks to full-term — were marked with labels identifying them variously as "medical waste," "fetuses" and "autopsy cases for Winston Funeral Home."
