#HarvardUniversity has agreed to a $53 million settlement with families who accused the school of mishandling and illegally selling the remains of relatives donated to Harvard Medical School. A Boston judge has provisionally approved the class-action settlement, which covers 47 family members whose relatives donated their remains between January 1, 2018, and March 31, 2023.
______________________________
The remains were allegedly stolen and sold on the black market by #CedricLodge, a former Harvard morgue manager. After his 2023 arrest, Harvard reviewed federal investigative records to determine which donors may have been affected, but the university acknowledged that it cannot identify every donor whose remains were stolen.
______________________________
Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the scheme. Authorities said he removed brains, skin, hands and facial tissue from cadavers before cremation and shipped them to buyers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. In one disturbing case, he sold skin to be used for tanning and binding into a leather book. Harvard said Lodge acted without the university’s knowledge or permission. The university also plans to establish an annual medical student scholarship beginning in 2027-28 in honor of anatomical donors. 📸:gettyimages ✍🏾:#TSRStaffJR
