Police: Man Fled With Severed Body Part
by Bob Allen
MCKEESPORT (KDKA) ―
McKeesport Police say they are now checking surveillance video to get a picture of the man who allegedly asked a clerk to heat up a severed male body part in a microwave at a local convenience store.
McKeesport Police say a man walked into the store, located on Fifth Avenue, and asked the clerk to use the microwave oven.
After the clerk noticed a strange smell coming from the microwave, she told police she opened the door and discovered human male genitalia wrapped in a paper towel cooking inside.
McKeesport police told KDKA the man fled with the severed body part after she made the discovery. She then called the police.
According to police, blood was found on the bathroom floor.
Some people were shocked at the news.
"I mean what can you say. Hopefully, they're looking for the person who it belongs to," said Sandy Furman of McKeesport.
One man told KDKA he wasn't surprised by what happened.
"I think that's the one they ought to look for - the one who may be hurt," said Denny Adler, of McKeesport. "It's shocking that I'm not (surprised). It's just the nature of the beast."
Authorities are now trying to find the man who fled the store.
