Christopher Dorner body parts photos makes media rounds

Christopher Dorner body parts photos are being shopped around at various media outlets, TMZ reports Feb. 20. The grisly images were reviewed by the celebrity news source, but they didn't purchase them. Readers were given a graphic explanation of what those pictures contained, however.

TMZ described the pictures as "extremely gruesome." The photos were snapped after he killed himself during a gun battle at a cabin in Big Bear, Calif. Feb 12. His body was badly burned after the fire that destroyed the cabin.

Dorner's body was partially dismembered with the top of his head missing -- believed to be from his self-inflicted gunshot wound. Several limbs are reportedly gone -- including an arm and parts of a leg. His torso is charred from the cabin fire, but apparently he still had his eyeballs, chest, and genitals intact. Dorner's upper teeth were in place, which made identifying his body by authorities easier.

Whenever gruesome photos emerge from a horrific incident, there's sure to be viewers of the carnage. It's unknown who the sellers of the Christopher Dorner pictures are, but someone is sure to buy them.
