[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 2207392, member: 1246"] [URL='https://www.pinterest.com/pin/352266002085644017/'] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ac/fb/ba/acfbba40bae271378adecb7485b4cb2b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Mortsafes were used to prevent corpses being stolen by bodysnatchers (resurrection men) for use in anatomy schools.
