Cops: Heart At Paw Paw Car Wash Belonged To A Deer

Police Say Heart Found At The Paw Paw Car Wash In Michigan Belonged To A Deer

(AP)  Paw Paw's police chief said a heart found at a car wash in the southwestern Michigan village belonged to a deer. Investigators had been trying to determine the organ's origin since Dec. 15, when the owner of Soapy's Car Wash found it in the corner of a manual wash bay.

The immediate concern was whether the human-sized heart came from a person.

It was sent to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing for examination and DNA testing.

Chief Patrick Alspaugh told the Kalamazoo Gazette on Monday that the hospital has concluded that the heart was from a deer.
