New York woman's body mistakenly donated for scientific research

The body of a recently deceased New York woman was mistakenly released from a city morgue and donated for medical student research, city officials and a family attorney said on Monday. Children of the late Aura Ballesteros, 85, made arrangements with the New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner in mid-May to hold their mother's body at a city morgue while they planned a funeral, attorney Sanford Rubenstein said. Shortly after Ballesteros' body arrived at the Jacobi Medical Center morgue in the Bronx, it was erroneously donated to the nearby Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Rubenstein said.
