What's the process here, Dennis? Is this the same as an autopsy? Just from
idle curiosity, why would the remains have been made unavailable to a museum
collection?

Could there be a connection to some of the rough weather we've been getting?
A few days ago a storm along the mid-BC coast had winds over 200 km/hr (120
mph) and there's been a series of almost daily blasters--strong gales to
storm-force--rolling up along the coast from the SW for the last couple of
weeks.
