The hits just keep coming for Harvard University.
The former director of the morgue at Harvard Medical School has pleaded guilty to trafficking stolen human body parts that were typically used for research. He faces a ten year prison term.
The creepy details of the story are like something straight out of a horror movie.

Harvard Medical School morgue manager admits to stealing organs, selling them on the black market
Cedric Lodge, 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to interstate transport of stolen human remains on Wednesday before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann, according to a news release from 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.
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the judge after “consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the federal sentencing guidelines,” according to the release.
Officials said Lodge admitted that from 2018 through at least March 2020 he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from the Harvard Medical School morgue in Massachusetts.
Lodge, then-manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads and other parts from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes, but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school, according to the release.
