Looks like a yes, and no.
osmium has been mentioned in connection with the chest implants of mummies, specifically the Nazca Mummies from Peru. According to various sources, including presentations and interviews, osmium was found in the metal implants of these mummies.
Prof. Zuniga Aviles Roger, leader of the mummy project, mentioned in an interview that the metal implant in the Josefina mummy is coated with osmium.
The Mexican hearing on the Nazca Mummies mentioned the presence of osmium in the chest plates.
Some sources suggest that osmium was found in significant quantities in the implants, although others have questioned the accuracy of these claims.
