Possible Human Lungs Found on LA Street

LOS ANGELES — Authorities are investigating what appear to be a pair of lungs found on a sidewalk in South Los Angeles.

A woman called to report finding what she believed to be the organs at 8:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. ET) Sunday in the 13100 block of Avalon Boulevard.

Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene, and the coroner's office was also called.

Additional testing will determine if the remains are in fact lungs and whether they are human, police said.

Sgt. Robert Dean of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, told the Los Angeles Times: "We don't know what they are. It's really weird."

Ed Winter, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, told the newspaper the possible organs were not attached to a body, and he found the situation "a little strange." He said it was unclear when the examination would be performed.

These stop smoking campaigns are getting out of hand.

My bad. I coughed them up this morning on the way to work. Is there a phone # I can call to pick them up?

Could be pig lungs. I think we call them "lights" in England and they are usually fed to dogs

Usually I'd say you're right, but this is in America. Someone will have cut them out with a meth pipe and there will be a bite out of one.

"Shit, I could have sworn I secured those donor lungs in their tub". Bad day for the dying recipient and the instant dismissal of a medical courier

How is a pair of lungs just 'misplaced'? What?

I love the non-smoking campaign with all of the victims!

Having respiratory issues, I was going to be a cancerous lung for Halloween one year.

edit: some idiot on YouTube is trying to play it off like he had something to do with it & claiming he's topping Luka Magnotta. One of the comments called him out and said he knew the uploader's sister and that he's not even in California
