A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager was sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing and selling human body parts as part of a nationwide scheme.
The big picture: Cedric Lodge, 58, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen human remains, which prosecutors said involved the theft and sale of organs, skin, brains and dissected heads from cadavers donated to Harvard from 2018 "through at least March 2020," a Department of Justice statement announcing their sentencing on Tuesday.
