The son of a United States woman who had her body donated to Harvard Medical School (HMS) for scientific research has filed a class-action lawsuit, following allegations that the university’s former morgue manager stole and sold body parts.Friday’s lawsuit — submitted in the Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts — could include the families of as many as 400 people who donated cadavers.Earlier this week, a federal grand jury indicted former morgue manager Cedric Lodge and four other defendants over allegations that they sold donated remains on the black market. They were charged with “conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods”.
