A previous embalmer at Capital Mortuary Services has actually declared to TFSC that Bui had “fraudulently initiated and obtained” at the very least 10 fatality certifications under his name and permit number without permission.

He additionally has actually declared that Bui was trying out on “separated anatomical structures.” He noted the arms of an unidentified dead individual. The “experiment,” included infusing formaldehyde right into the arms and observing its impacts with time on the cut arm or legs, according to the court files.

A cease-and-desist letter was provided to the mortuary on April 10. The letter mentioned that the funeral chapel had “failed to meet building, health, and safety codes and would have to ” promptly discontinue and desist all procedures”. 

The Austin Police Department received eight death certificates that were allegedly signed by the former embalmer via an electronic signature, says court paperwork.

The former embalmer says he was not employed as a funeral director with Capital Mortuary Services, and instead was employed as a crematory operator, driver and embalmer.

He says he never accessed the Texas Electronic Vital Events Registrar (or TxEVER) to obtain those eight death certificates.

Capital Mortuary Services has alleged to TFSC that Bui had “fraudulently initiated and obtained” at least ten death certificates under his name and license number without consent. (Google Maps)
