More Details in Alistair Cooke Death

This is an undated file photo issued by the British Broadcasting Corp., of Alistair Cooke, the longtime host of "Masterpiece Theatre" on U.S. television and known around the world for his "Letter from America" shows on the BBC, who died from cancer in 2004 at age 95 in New York. The medical records that accompanied the body of Cooke were wrong in just about every possible way. The medical records provide the most in-depth look so far into the case of the famed TV personality, and raise more questions about the safety of the cadaver tissue industry.

The records for Cooke show Regeneration received the arms and legs. Previously, it was believed that only Cooke's legs were taken and provided for thousands of dollars to Regeneration. Cooke's pelvis and other tissue were also removed, but it's not clear where those parts were sent.

Regeneration says Cooke's tissue was never implanted, but about 10,000 pieces from BTS did wind up in people _ landing Regeneration and several other companies in civil court.

In an undated letter Regeneration Chairman Brian Hutchison sent to Cooke's daughter, the company said it performed many "quality control procedures, and in this case our procedures prevented distribution as they are designed to do."

But it was a Colorado doctor who discovered the suspected fraud, notifying LifeCell Corp., another tissue processor that received parts from Biomedical Tissue.

LifeCell sounded the alarm and then informed the FDA, which led to a voluntary recall of the tissue nearly a year ago _ raising serious questions about safety practices within the industry.

Court documents show Regeneration shipped a total of 19,446 pieces of tissue that Biomedical Tissue Services provided.

"They clearly did not have any intention of bothering to verify the authenticity of the documents," Kittredge said. "If they had made one phone call to me or this spurious doctor, it would have been caught immediately."

Kittredge, who has not sued any of the tissue processors involved in the scandal, says she never consented to have her father's body parts donated _ despite that claim in her father's records. The papers were signed by Mastromarino and employee Chris Aldorasi.

The documents say that a person named "Susan Quint" of the Bronx _ identified as Cooke's daughter _ consented to giving BTS the body parts. But Kittredge is Cooke's only daughter, and she lives in Vermont, where she is a minister.

In addition, Cooke died of lung cancer, but the records list his cause of death as "cardiopulmonary arrest." He was 95. BTS said he was 85.

The FDA sets no age and few health limits on donors, but some tissue banks consider cancer a disqualifying condition. It's not known whether the disease can spread to a recipient.

The time the body was recovered was also fudged. Cooke died just after midnight March 30, 2004, but BTS lists it as 6:45 a.m. making the 9:30 p.m. recovery time look shorter and the body fresher and more suitable for processing.

Mastromarino's lawyer said his client didn't do anything wrong and pinned the blame on New York Mortuary Service, where Cooke's tissue was recovered. The mortuary service's funeral director, Timothy O'Brien, has already pleaded guilty for his role.

Aldorasi's lawyer says he can't comment on the records because he hasn't seen them.

Mastromarino, Aldorasi and two other BTS employees were charged in an indictment February in a Brooklyn court. All four have pleaded not guilty to charges of enterprise corruption, body stealing and opening graves, unlawful dissection, forgery and other counts.
