Was "Body Parts" Right?

I'm sure many of you remember the classic horror flick "Body Parts" about a man who lost his arm in a car accident and got a new arm, from the body of a serial killer. But the arm still had some of the killer in it and would act violently, all on its own.

I wonder if the same thing happened to Sonny Graham. 12 years ago Graham was near death from congestive heart failure. But he got a heart transplant from Terry Cottle, 33, whose heart came available when he shot himself.

Now, Graham died exactly the same way as his benefactor. He was found with a single shotgun wound to the throat.

Is it possible that the heart forced these men into suicide? Could the heart's beats have delivered a message of self-loathing and despair that led anyone who had this heart to bring himself to an untimely end?

Or maybe it was this:

A couple years after he got Cottle's heart, Graham reached out to his widow, Cheryl to thank her for the organ and the new lease on life it gave him.

In 2004, Graham and Cherly Cottle got married.
