Where are her beautiful blue eyes? Where is her brain, her heart?
A BRITISH woman who died in a hospital in Mexico was flown home to her family – without her eyes, heart and brain.
The shocking discovery has raised fears Amanda Gill’s body was stripped by organ traffickers.
Amanda, 41, was returned to Britain with all her vital parts missing except her lower bowel.
Her stunned mum Elaine Hines, 65, last night told the Sunday People: “She came home empty. They stole everything inside her.
“If this has happened to Amanda how many other people has it happened to and will again? We think they were stolen and sold.”
And Amanda’s horrified sister Katie Miller-gill, 35, said: “Where are my sister’s beautiful blue eyes? Why were they taken from her? Where is her brain, her heart?
“If they had said to us can we donate her organs then we might have considered it. But to steal them?
Profit
“Did they steal all her organs because she was British and so they thought they would get away with it as it wouldn’t be followed up?
“Did they do it to her because she was foreign? Did they steal her organs for the illegal trade? We just don’t know. We haven’t got the answers we wanted.”
Yesterday hospital bosses and local justice chiefs insisted they had no idea what happened to Amanda’s body after her death in Mexico City.
They claimed it was handed over to police in a sealed bag with the organs intact.
But Mexico is plagued by corrupt doctors and criminal gangs who steal organs to profit from a huge donor shortage.
Amanda, a barmaid and waitress from Shipley, West
Yorks, died at the Hospital de Cos after complications f r om diabetes while travelling in Latin America.
One theory is she fell ill with ketoacidosis, which is remedied by taking fluids and an IV drip. But less than 12 hours later she died.
Mum Elaine said: “Her body came back to England and they did a CT scan and that’s when we found out all her organs had been stolen.
“She was empty.
It was a shock for all o of us. It was an awful, awful thing thing. Everything had gone from ins inside her apart from her small bo bowel.
“There was nothing they could do a postmortem on because there was nothing in there.
“She had been in hospital a few times with ketoacidosis, w which is one of those horrible th things you get with diabetes.
“I don’t understand why she d died within 12 hours of going into hos hospital.
“The hospital said she wouldn’t take fluids but the first thing you do is put them on a drip and that brings them round. It isn’t something that would have killed her.” One cause of death given by the Mexican authorities was “visceral congestion” which baffled pathologists in the UK.
The hospital is adamant that all her organs were in her body before she was transferred to a police station for a postmortem.
Horrendous
Elaine cremated her daughter on Amanda’s birthday, February 27, without her vital organs. She was admitted to hospital last December.
The mum said: “It is heartbreaking, the most horrendous thing. She was a lovely girl, very spiritual.”
