Upjohn Morgue

There were no bodies at the Upjohn Morgue, just surplus equipment, but it was a real part of Upjohn life in the 1970s and 80s. Back then it was in Building 190, which was located on Mastenbrook Road next to the airport. In the early 1980s I had reason to go and look through it a number of times for some pieces of equipment now long forgotten. Alas, one day in the 1990s it was discovered that drug dealers around town were weighing out their product using old Upjohn analytical balances. An investigation showed the supervisor of the morgue was selling them to the dealers and his employment at Upjohn ended abruptly.
