Complaints Led To Texas Mortuary Director Being Accused

KXAN reports that a former employee complained that Bui had "“fraudulently initiated and obtained at least 10 death certificates under his name,” and that he was aware of “experiments” Bui would allegedly conduct on corpses’ arms.

Bui is accused of running experiments on some corpses. She would allegedly inject formaldehyde into the arms to the effects on severed extremities.
