In his lifetime it was against the law to observe a dead body for science. The men of his time who wanted to learn about the human anatomy had to hire body snatchers to get them bodies of people who had recently died. These body snatchers would put a body in a whiskey barrel to preserve the body for delivery. The term "rot gut whiskey " comes from this time. Bodies were delivered to secret places by the artist or Doctor Who paid for the body so they could study the anatomy.
