Marion Hospital Gets Suspicious Package
A mail room employee discovered the envelope Wednesday morning.
The Marion Fire Department's hazmat team was called in to retrieve the package and decontaminate the area.
The envelope was not opened and employees in the area were decontaminated.
After the mail room and envelope were sealed off investigators determined the source of the white powder.
Turns out someone sent a Christmas card with a candy cane inside.
By the time it arrived at the V-A the candy was crushed and the small grains were coming through the envelope.
