A family sued an Alabama prison last year, after their son's body was returned without a heart.
Another family is stepping up in support of the lawsuit, new court documents show.
A daughter claims in the docs that her father also was returned to the family without any organs.

Another family is claiming their son's organs went inexplicably missing after being incarcerated by the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC), court documents viewed by Business Insider show.
