Multiple Individuals Accused of Selling Stolen Human Remains, Including Harvard Medical School Employee and Local Artists

The manager of a morgue at Harvard Medical School, Cedric Lodge, has been charged with selling body parts from donated cadavers and allowing buyers to come to the morgue to choose which parts they wanted, federal prosecutors said. Lodge and his wife, Denise Lodge, both of Goffstown, N.H., and three others had been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pennsylvania on charges of conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods. The defendants were all part of a nationwide network that bought and sold human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School and a mortuary in Little Rock where Ms. Scott worked, prosecutors said.
