US EditionCEO charged with abusing dead bodies
- Dr. Aaron Ashoka Ali, CEO of Austin-based MedtoMarket, was charged on April 28, 2025, for abusing corpses and aggravated perjury related to experiments at a North Austin mortuary.
- The charges arose from an investigation into alleged unauthorized embalming experiments on severed arms at Capital Mortuary Services, prompted by reports of fraudulent death certificates and mutilations.
- Evidence shows MedtoMarket supplied the arms for testing embalming fluid effects over months at an unlicensed facility, while Ali testified before the Texas Senate on related legislation.
- Ali’s attorney declared, “These charges are completely unfounded,” asserting all activities were legally authorized despite investigators receiving conflicting information.
- The case highlights regulatory gaps in mortuary practices and could influence future laws governing anatomical research and mortuary licensing in Texas.
