Three families have sued Harvard University’s medical school over a scandal involving the sale of body parts, saying their relative’s bodies were dumped in a “place of freakish desecration.”

Glenn Wilder, Jeanine Cunningham, and Pamela Bishop filed the lawsuit in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston and claim the bodies of their loved ones were treated “like trinkets at a flea market.”
