The investigation revealed that the University of North Texas Health Science Center profited by using unclaimed bodies from Dallas and Tarrant counties for medical training and research without consent. Families, including Tim Liggett, learned about their relatives' involvement through an NBC News report. Liggett found his brother Dale's name on a list of unclaimed bodies used by the center. The report highlighted the lack of communication from authorities and the center, which led to families discovering the fate of their loved ones through media rather than official channels. The center has since suspended its body donation program and fired responsible officials. The report has prompted discussions on the need for regulations in the body broker industry, with a Texas state senator working on legislation to ban the use of unclaimed bodies without consent and regulate the industry.
