PONTIAC, MI (AP) -- The Oakland County Medical Examiner's office has canceled public school tours after a high school group watched the autopsy of a 14 year old girl from their district.
The Detroit News reports Monday that county officials decided to stop the tours in Pontiac after they were contacted by the girl's parents, who found out about the March tour and were very upset.
Mike Zehnder, the county's director of public services, says it was "a poor decision" to let the tour go on.
The newspaper reports the teacher who brought in the Waterford Kettering High School group was told the autopsy would be of a Waterford middle school student and discussed that with students. Waterford School District spokeswoman Rhonda Lessel says the teacher was not disciplined.
