Found this article on an Australian news site. I have a journalism background and this article seems fake to me. The date is a little old for it to have anything to do with recent Hanso developments, but it is eerie.
I am now officially obsessed with searching for clues and answers to this dang "experience." This is the first of a million wild goose chases I foresee.

Dead man had missing organs and rope around neck
March 3 2003
Police in Philadelphia, responding to a report of a dead body, turned the victim over and found his heart, a lung and other organs had been cut out.
"Either ... there's a really sick person out there who wants to keep somebody's internal organs, or is there a market for this? Or are they trying to send a message?" homicide Captain Charles Bloom said after the discovery at the weekend.
The victim also had a rope around his neck, police said.
A man searching for scrap metal inside an abandoned North Philadelphia house found the body lying face down and called police.
Detectives found the victim's chest had been cut open from the neck to his stomach and that his chest cavity was hollowed out.
"This wasn't done by animals," said Captain Bloom.
Police described the victim as a black male, possibly in his 30s, who had been dead for about 24 to 48 hours. His identity was unknown.
Police were also considering the possibility that someone abused the body after the man died of natural causes or a drug overdose, Captain Bloom said. An autopsy has been scheduled.
