Ex-Harvard morgue manager sentenced for selling body parts.

A former morgue manager at Harvard Medical School, Cedric Lodge, was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing and selling donated body parts for scientific research. Lodge and his wife trafficked internal organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, and dissected heads without permission, shipping them to buyers in other states. Denise Lodge received a one-year prison sentence for her involvement. The Justice Department noted that many of the human remains were resold at a profit, with buyers facing jail time or awaiting sentencing.
