Coroner: Object In Fruit Drink Not Penis

Mysterious Substance Was Mold, Coroner Says

Tests revealed that a mysterious object believed to be a human penis that was found in a bottled fruit drink by a Commerce City man was actually bacterial mold, police said.

Juan Sanchez-Marchez brought the bottle of Ora Potency Fruit Punch to police Thursday. He told authorities that he drank almost the entire bottle when he discovered the object.

Investigators had told Commerce City police that the object (pictured, right) appeared to be an intact 3-inch section of a human penis. Tests indicated that the object was not human tissue.

"These tests confirmed that the object was not human tissue, but rather bacterial mold growth. A sample will be forwarded to the FDA forensic laboratory for exact determination of the organism," Adams County Coroner Richard Amend said.

FDA officials told police Tuesday that the drink distributing plant had discovered a second bottle with an unknown substance floating in it.

The substance was described by the coroner's staff as "a cylindrical object about 3 mm long and 3 mm wide," according to a press release.

Police said that they sent the bottle to the coroner's office for testing, and that they were not continuing their criminal investigation into the incidents.
