Tonya Walker, a 51-year-old Black mother, vanished in Sacramento on November 2, 2023. Her family searched for seven months to learn her body lay unclaimed at Mercy Hospital, where she’d died of cardiac arrest. The hospital delayed her death certificate by five months and stored her at an off-site morgue that allegedly harvested her organs without consent. Similar cases of missing Black bodies have emerged, fueling accusations of systemic neglect, organ trafficking, and medical racism.
