Former Calgary pathologists deny accusations of harvesting organs
Two former Calgary medical examiners under multiple investigations in Texas have denied allegations of inappropriately harvesting organs from deceased children in a response to a pair of civil suits.
The first lawsuit was launched in February by a former employee of the medical examiner’s office, Tita Senee Graves, who claimed she was fired for raising concerns over Matshes’ alleged removal of organs and tissue during autopsies on children for “research” purposes.
“Graves has no qualifications to determine what should be done in an autopsy to determine the cause of death.” within the Medical Examiner’s Office to the authorities are false. There was no illegal activity in the Medical Examiner’s Office by Defendants.” Both legal responses argue the pathologists are protected from liability due to “official immunity,” a legal doctrine in the United States that shields government officials from being sued for discretionary actions performed within their official capacity, unless it clearly violates established laws.
