NEW YORK – The morgue manager at the prestigious Harvard Medical School in the United States allegedly took body parts from his workplace without permission and then sold them, US prosecutors said Wednesday.
Lodge has been charged alongside his wife, 63-year-old Denise Lodge, and five other alleged co-conspirators with involvement in a “nationwide network” of bought and sold human remains. He is accused of taking the remains from the Harvard site in Boston to his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he and his wife sold the remains to two of the other accused – Katrina Maclean and Joshua Taylor.
Lodge managed the morgue for Harvard’s anatomical gifts program. He was fired from his post on May 6, the school said in a statement.
