Dominic Sonsee,a dwarf, died Temora on 28th October 1883 age 33 where is he buried?

Question

He was born in Creswick Victoria to Italian born father, Dominicko Sonsie/Sonsee and Irish immigrant Catherine English. He lost contact when he left his family to join a travelling show.

When he died his body was taken to study by the NSW governement, however their university did not have a medical department apparently until 1962. Where is Dominic's body? Surely my great-great-great uncle is not still in a dusty vault in a museam somewhere? If so, I'd like to have him back to give him a proper burial.
