2 'Human Legs' found at rubbish dump

2 surgically-removed human legs - thought to belong to different people - were found dumped at a rubbish dumb in Australia.

The limbs were spotted protruding from a pile of rubbish by a horrified worker at a Summerhill Waste Management Centre in New South Wales, Australia. Mirror UK reported.

Police believe the legs may have ended up at the tip by mistake after being inappropriately discarded by health management , while some residents fear there is a more chilling explanation.

They legs both appeared to have been amputated below the knee by a professional and had been left rotting at the council-run site for up to six weeks.

Lorraine Long, of the Medical Error Action Group, agreed that the limbs were likely wrongly disposed of at the tip by health officials.

“No system, don't care. But the point of all of this is, no respect for the dead.”

The legs have been removed from the scene and are currently being investigated by the state government environment agency and local authorities.
