Harvard Medical School morgue manager, others charged with trafficking body parts
The manager of Harvard Medical School's morgue, his wife, and multiple others have been indicted for allegedly trafficking stolen human remains.
Cedric Lodge, 55, stole organs and other parts of cadavers donated for medical research and education before their scheduled cremations from the morgue between 2018 and 2022, federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania have alleged. The body parts were taken without the school's knowledge or permission, authorities said, adding that the school has cooperated with the investigation.
Bodies donated to Harvard Medical School are used for education, teaching or research purposes. Once they are no longer needed, the cadavers are usually cremated and the ashes are returned to the donor’s family or buried in a cemetery.
