But seriously, why remove all the organs? What are you going to do with a brain? Is it time for more head transplants?

They probably got sold off to collectors, if I had to guess. They busted a guy at Harvard Medical School doing it earlier this year

Guiness World Records for the biggest collection of prisoner brains

“In North Amerika the prisoners are filled with sand after execution, and their organs are sent to schools to feed the starving school children who are taught it’s okay to do crime so that they too will go to prison and have their organs harvested.”

If its true... I know that the brain can be used for medical science.

It could also be disposed of if the subject has been exposed or subjected to something that alters the brain leading to death, illness or medical injury. Eg the testing of medicine. Not saying thats what happened, just putting out a couple of explanations that would still need proof.

No organs, very shallow autopsy

Those are the prions.

Least awful: there were dangerous conditions they wanted to keep hidden. Could be lead, drugs, concussion, something the prison they wanted to not get out.

Most likely: medical research on brains

Most evil: someone ate it.

Could be any of the above, or more.
