News broke about yet another prison inmate in Alabama whose remains were returned to his family missing major organs, revealing a bizarre pattern of mistreatment happening within the state’s prison system.

Kelvin Moore died at the Limestone Correctional Facility on July 21, 2023, from a fentanyl overdose at age 43.

Before authorities returned his body to his family, it was first sent to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for an autopsy.

A few days later, Moore’s body arrived at a funeral home in Mobile, Alabama, where the funeral director found that most of his internal organs were missing. ABC 3340 reported that his brother had to travel to the University of Alabama hospital in Birmingham to retrieve his organs.

“Posthumously, they robbed his organs without our permission. They didn’t ask,” Moore’s older brother, Simone, told the news station. “That is the most vile action to do to someone.”

Moore’s case bears strikingly eerie similarities to those of Charles Singleton and Brandon Dotson, who were both prison inmates and died in the custody of the Alabama Department of Corrections.

Singleton, 74, died more than two years ago at a hospital that provides care for older inmates. Dotson, 43, was found dead two months ago in his cell at Ventress Correctional Facility.
