A major investigation has been launched at an Irish hospital after the remains of a British tourist were sent home containing two hearts and four lungs.
The additional organs were discovered inside the body of 55-year-old Louis Selo during a second post mortem examination in a UK hospital.
Mr Selo, from New Malden in Surrey, died of a massive heart attack in a taxi at Dublin Airport on August 2.
The former Standard Chartered Bank worker, who hit the headlines five years ago when he flew his son Sebastian to Australia for extremely rare brain surgery, had been on holiday with his wife Anna.
An initial post mortem examination was carried out at Dublin's Beaumont Hospital.
Days later, when his body was flown home for burial, it was re-examined by a pathologist, standard procedure when a Briton dies overseas.
The pathologist discovered a number of extra organs were stitched inside his corpse, inside a plastic viscera bag. A coroner reported back to the hospital that major irregularities had been uncovered.
A spokesman for Beaumont Hospital confirmed that the internal investigation could result in disciplinary action.
"What happened should not have happened and we express our deep regret to those affected," he said. "The hospital got in touch with both families the moment we became aware of the situation. A high level inquiry is currently under way at the hospital, and we expect the finding of that to be available shortly. It could lead to disciplinary action."
Mr Selo, a father-of-three, is said to have been a well-respected member of the British Jewish Community.
