Tracking The Path of A Terrifying Corspe Thief

Book excerpt: Grave Robbing is an illegal practice where individuals steal corpses from cemeteries to sell to medical schools and anatomy laboratories for educational and research purposes. In the past, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, London became a center of sensational grave-robbing practices. This was due to the increasing demand for cadavers for medical education purposes. During that time, laws and regulations governing the use of corpses for educational purposes were still limited. This resulted in a shortage of legally obtained corpses for medical education, leading to the practice of grave robbing. Most grave robbing activities took place at night when cemetery security was minimal. Grave robbers would dig up graves or open coffins to retrieve the corpses. Grave robbers were often referred to as “Resurrection Men” or “Resurrectionists.” They operated covertly and were frequently involved in illegal corpse trafficking networks.
