Medical examiner testifies about 47 children found in Gosnell's freezer

Gosnell's freezer

On Monday, Medical Examiner Sam Gulino testified about the 47 children who were found in abortionist Kermit Gosnell's freezer.  Some of dead children were stored "in makeshift containers, such as the cut-down plastic water jug or juice container."  One child, known only as "Baby Boy B," was around 28 weeks gestation. 

Gulino testified about the difficult task of examining the remains of 47 frozen fetuses discovered in Gosnell's clinic during a Feb. 18, 2010, raid by a federal-state prescription drug-abuse task force.

Gulino called it "unprecedented."

"This was something that in 15 to 16 years . . . I had never been asked to do," Gulino testified.

"There was no guidance on how to proceed," Gulino testified, adding that he asked fellow coroners, medical examiners, and forensic pathologists, who were as stumped as he.

Gulino said he finally opened the red and blue plastic bags from Gosnell's freezer, tagged the remains, and slowly let them thaw, to minimize decomposition.
