An Indonesian hospital has rejected allegations of organ theft, clarifying that an Australian tourist’s heart – missing when his body was flown home – was sent to Queensland after undergoing a forensic procedure.
Byron Haddow, 23, was found dead in the plunge pool of his rented villa in Bali earlier this year. His body was sent back to Australia about a month later, where a second autopsy revealed the heart was not present. The discovery prompted Canberra to press Jakarta for clarification.
