  1. On the 22 December 2005 the bones of the late journalist Alistair Cooke were surgically removed from his body before he was cremated by employees of Biomedical Tissue Services of Fort Lee, New Jersey, a tissue-recovery firm. Michael Mastromarino, a former New Jersey-based oral surgeon and Lee Cruceta agreed to a deal that resulted in their imprisonment. So grave robbing is still being carried out. The bones were for use as medical-grade bone grafts but as Cooke had died of bone cancer they would not have been of any use. Mastromarino himself would die of liver cancer in 2013.
