I did a little more research, and there are pictures of that body on display before her son died.
Just a little sad, but also insane.

Now, I'm not saying that whatever is being stated in the Facebook post has any merit, but the guy going public (basically inventing the format at around 1995) with these kinds of exhibitions, Gunther von Hagens, came under fire due to corpses of unknown origin being dissected at his institute. He also stocks and trades plastinated specimens (body parts, whole preserved corpses etc.), with documents showing him having around 650 bodies in stock at his facility in China.
I don't know what particular exhibition was discussed in the Facebook post, but Bodies: The Exhibition is also considered controversial and obtained plastinated corpses from China. No idea if there are any business relations, but the whole business seems kinda sketchy.

Yeah, this particular woman might be crazy, but everything I've seen of the Bodies exhibit reeks of unethical sourcing. I thought it was common knowledge that many of those bodies are likely Chinese political prisoners.
