Photographer's 'eerie' find inside abandoned morgue: 'Shocking'
Jordan said she was stunned by what she found after entering the empty building.
A freelance photographer has stumbled across the disturbing remnants of an abandoned morgue, capturing images of organs, bones and autopsy tools.
One haunting image shows a pile of tiny fragments of bones left on a table, while another image shows a human organ clearly withering away in a jar.
Jordan L, 24, from London, recently captured the creepy scenes at the pathology centre of the Emile Roux hospital in Paris, which has been abandoned since around 2013.
Although it was not clear to Jordan, she heard from locals that the morgue closed due to financial restrictions and budget cuts making it unaffordable to keep open.
Walking through the building littered with debris, Jordan found disturbing evidence of bones and human remains being left in jars. There were also blood slides of deceased persons who have been through the morgue.

“We found jars of human organs, boxes of blood slides and human bones still left behind,” she said. “I definitely liked the double porcelain autopsy tables.
“Porcelain tables are rare to find and a twin set is very unusual. I was told that it closed due to financial restrictions and budget cuts making it unaffordable to keep open.”
Jordan felt as though the empty former facility had an eerie presence, especially after finding real human bones and organs left behind.
“It was a unique atmosphere definitely,” she said. “Quite eerie as it was a very windy day and so we kept hearing a rattling and howling as the wind shook the fire escape doors around the building.
“It was definitely shocking as you would imagine that a hospital would dispose of sensitive human tissues prior to closure of a facility. I believe it was used for autopsies, embalming, training and teaching and medical research.”
