Organ thieves or crazy homeless folks?

A sgt told me this story, figured that since I was on here, I'd share it with you.
During the initial push, combat in Iraq wasn't that bad in most places, but there were some areas that got pretty bloody. He was doing a block to block MOUT fight, it was pretty intense but his squad managed to make take it.
Anyway, while they were policing the area, they came across this homeless guy who was mutilating the corpses. They went through the normal schpeel about getting on the ground, but this guy just ignored them and kept doing something to the bodies.
They opened fire on this vagabond and the sgt swears that the rounds hit, but the dude just kept on doing stuff to the bodies.
the squad closed on the guy and did a takedown, but they couldn't get a grip on him and he got ran around a corner and disappeared into a building or something.
When they looked at the body (it was an insurgent), his chest looked like it was cut wide open, but the weird thing is that there was nothing in his chest, it was like all his internal organs just up and disappeared, there was just a funky mucas inside his chest, not even very much blood.
Now, I'm not a field medic or anything, but I'm pretty sure that bodies normally have stuff like livers, lungs, and a heart. If the guy had been organ harvesting, surely there would have been blood or leftovers of some sort.
Anybody know what's going on?
PS: His arms and legs looked like they had been scratched or rubbed raw and red. I dunno, this place is weird sometimes.
