Background
Shultz, Suzanne Marie was born on February 27, 1947 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States. Daughter of Kenneth W. and Alice Julia (Zimmerman) Shultz.
(Also called resurrectionists, body snatchers, were carefu...)
Also called resurrectionists, body snatchers, were careful not to take anything from the grave but the body-stealing only the corpse was not considered a felony since the courts had already said that a dead body had no owner. (Burking-i.e., murder-was the alternative method of supplying stiffs to medical schools; it is covered here as well).This book recounts the practice of grave robbing for the medical education of American medical students and physicians during the late 1700s and 1800s in the US, why body snatching came about and how disinterment was done, and presents information on: efforts to prevent the practice, a group of professional grave robbers, and the European experience.
