But it just got worse:
A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.
Cedric Lodge, 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, admitted to interstate transport of stolen human remains before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann, as reported by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The maximum penalty under federal law is 10 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment and a fine.
The former manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue confessed to the theft of body parts from donated cadavers at the Boston institution and subsequent sale of these parts, according to federal prosecutors.
