Harvard Medical School Morgue Manager and Others Indicted for Selling Stolen Body Parts

The manager of the morgue at Harvard Medical School and three others have been indicted for allegedly stealing and selling human body parts from the school and a morgue in Arkansas. The stolen remains included heads, brains, skin, bones, and other human remains. The defendants are accused of coordinating through cellphone and social media and sometimes shipping remains through the United States Postal Service. Harvard Medical School called the alleged actions "morally reprehensible" and is working with authorities to figure out which donors may have been affected. The maximum sentence on the charges is 15 years in prison.
