In an effort to help families find lost loved ones, Chicago's medical examiner on Wednesday began posting photos of unclaimed bodies on its website.
The new feature comes with a disclaimer warning viewers about the grisly pics.
"Please be advised of the potentially graphic nature of the images that you are linking to," the warning says. "They are from the autopsies of unidentified persons and some may be in a somewhat decomposed or damaged state."
On Thursday, the site contained seven photos of three unclaimed bodies, two that have been at the morgue since 2011 and one since 2010.
Along with the photos, the site, which was recently revamped, was offering additional identifying details such as height, clothing or tattoos, a Cook County Medical Examiner's Office spokesperson told DNA Info Chicago.
