A Portland-area company that brokers cadavers and body parts is under FBI attention over distribution of its acquisitions, unidentified sources told Reuters.

MedCure is among the largest brokers of cadavers and body parts in the United States. From 2011 through 2015, documents obtained under public-record laws show, the company received more than 11,000 donated bodies and distributed more than 51,000 body parts to medical industry customers nationally.
