U.K. Kids Find Cellphone With ‘Vile’ Image of Mortician Holding Severed Head

The Daily Mail is reporting that a brother and sister found a mobile phone lying in a ditch in the U.K. and, when turned over to their father, it revealed the shocking image of a man holding a severed head.

Cellphone Found in U.K. With Photo of Embalmer Holding Decapitated Head

According to the Daily Mail, the smiling man in the photo is David Amor, identified as an embalmer in the U.K.’s Buckinghamshire. Now, police are looking into the potential of misconduct:

Chief Inspector Olly Wright, of Aylesbury Vale police, said: “The incident is being treated seriously and while we carry out our initial investigation we feel it would be inappropriate to speculate as to the circumstances in which this photo was taken.”

Officers were in the process of seizing the mobile phone so that they could examine the pictures further.

A spokesman added: “We are looking into this to establish whether any offence has taken place.”

The father apparently found the photo when he removed the SIM card in an effort to identify its owner. He said, “It’s like when you find a wallet, you look inside to see who it belongs to.”  But after seeing the disturbing and “disrespectful” image, he decided he did not want to contact this person directly.

He told the Daily Mail that his daughter, who saw the image on his computer screen, screamed and ran away.

The embalming business Amor works for was identified by a social networking site. The man with whom the Daily Mail reports Amor lives refused to comment on the photos, stating they were talking with the police. Neighbors were reported as calling the act “vile”.

The British Institute of Embalmers has called the incident shocking and points out that its member embalmers adhere to a strict code of ethics that treats every body with respect. The institute said they have no record of the man being a member of the organization.

Thames Today reports an unnamed source from Harris Court, Aylesbury, who knew Amor, as saying “he was mucking about with the body.”

    If you want to see the head, it belongs to the Texan woodsman featured here last week.

    We finally figured out why that story (and now this one) are worthy of printing… It is a series!

    Huh? What’s vile about a mortician handling body parts? He looks like he loves his work – Isn’t that a good thing?

    The thing I find shocking here is that, for a Britt attended to by the UK dental system, he has a reasonably decent set of teeth to smile through.

      You might feel differently if the body being treated with such disrespect, belonged to someone YOU loved. It has not one thing to do with PC. Get some class.

    Bull. You don‘t find contact or owner information in someone’s personal pictures. The guy was a busybody snooping through another person’s images.

    As for the mortician… eh. No idea if there’s a crime committed there, but I’m not sure what laws are on the books in the UK. Bears looking into now that it’s known.

    I lived next door to a mortician once. He use to tell me stories of handling body parts after people died in bad car accidents…. Including decapitated heads. Form, it was all in a days work.

      I’m sure their reasoning is similar for not showing the people jumping from the WTC windows on 9/11; in this case, we might all go crazy and run out and lynch morticians if they showed us the head.

      Seriously, the head had friends and relatives. It might a bit “disturbing” to see this guy laughing over their loved one.

      I‘m guessing it’s blurred out in respect for the deceased’s family, not because it is too shocking…

    I think one would need to have a kind of sick humor about a job like that. I think that would keep one sane. It reminds me of urinegate. I think stuff like this happens all the time. Now, with ubiquitous recording devices, we get to see it more often.

    How is a mortician suppose to get a head in this world? He may have been doing his job and he lost his head when the camera flashed.
