Weird News: Allendale Corpse Cutting

Via Chris Perridas' Lovecraft blog is a peculiar article directly from one of H.P. Lovecraft's lesser known stories. In his "In the Vault," Lovecraft describes the terrible retribution leveled on George Birch for his unspeakable crime of cutting a corpse to fit a coffin. It seems rumors have been flying across the murky corners of the internet about a real life case of corpse cutting, for the same reason described in HPL's story. Is this life imitating art, nearly a century after the story's creation?
