For the first time, the family of a dead man whose body parts were ghoulishly harvested without permission has come forward to blame the ex-dentist under investigation for the illicit theft of bones and tissue.
In a dramatic interview that exposed the full horror of the macabre plot, the heartbroken son of the man also revealed that his lawyer will file a lawsuit charging his name was forged on a document giving permission to remove his father's body parts.
Vito Bruno, whose father, Michael, died two years ago, is still reeling from the shock of learning last week that his father's cancer-ravaged body may have been plundered for profit.
Vito Bruno was floored when the detectives showed him a death certificate stating that his father had died of a heart attack, not cancer. Then he was asked to inspect a donor card which granted permission to harvest his father's body.
Michael Bruno's body parts "were very weak and diseased" and could pose a risk to those who received them, said Rubenstein.
