But seriously, why remove all the organs? What are you going to do with a brain? Is it time for more head transplants?

They probably got sold off to collectors, if I had to guess. They busted a guy at Harvard Medical School doing it earlier this year

Guiness World Records for the biggest collection of prisoner brains

“In North Amerika the prisoners are filled with sand after execution, and their organs are sent to schools to feed the starving school children who are taught it’s okay to do crime so that they too will go to prison and have their organs harvested.”

If its true... I know that the brain can be used for medical science.

It could also be disposed of if the subject has been exposed or subjected to something that alters the brain leading to death, illness or medical injury. Eg the testing of medicine. Not saying thats what happened, just putting out a couple of explanations that would still need proof.

Least awful: there were dangerous conditions they wanted to keep hidden. Could be lead, drugs, concussion, something the prison they wanted to not get out.

Most likely: medical research on brains

Most evil: someone ate it.

Could be any of the above, or more.

It's rare a pathologist would take a whole brain, but not out of the realm of possibility.

Within BrainNet Europe (BNE, www.brainnet-europe.org), a consortium of 19 European brain banks established by the European Commission, an Ethical Code of Conduct was installed . This Code covers the basic legal rules and bioethical principles involved in brain banking and is based on legislation and guidelines issued by international governmental and non-governmental key organizations, such as the Council of Europe (CoE), the European Commission, the United Nations, the World Medical Association and the World Health Organization and is mostly based on the Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE to member states on research on biological materials of human origin (Council of Europe Committee of Ministers, Explanatory Report, 2005, http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/EN/Reports/Html/195.htm; Recommendation, 2006, https://wcd.coe.int/ViewDoc.jsp?id=977859). In June 2008, all BNE II partners signed this Code of Conduct. This type of self-regulation is hoped in the long run to contribute to uniform and unambiguous European legislation guiding transparent brain banking and to guide new and professionalize existing brain banks.

I love me some voluntary self regulation of checks notes brain collection
