Body of Fleming in School of Medicine
    The body of actor Eric Fleming who drowned last week in the Huallaga River while he was filming a movie has been definitely donated to the School of Medicine of San Fernando for the students to pursue their medical studies.
    In his will, Eric indicated that his body should be donated to a school of medicine. The last wish of the North American actor was fulfilled the day before yesterday when his body was sent to the Anatomy Department at San Fernando.
    Presently the body of Fleming is being kept in a tub of formaldehyde however some university staff believe that it is inlikely that the body can be used due to its damaged state.

Note: The School of Medicine of San Fernando is associated with the San Marcos University of Peru.
