  • A New Hampshire man who was arrested and charged with stealing and selling body parts will plead guilty, according to federal court documents.

Cedric Lodge, the former morgue manager at Harvard Medical School, pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing and selling body parts donated for medical research. Lodge, along with his wife Denise Lodge and three others, were indicted for their roles in a scheme that involved the theft and sale of human remains from the Harvard morgue between 2018 and 2022. The Lodges allegedly allowed buyers to enter the morgue to select body parts, which were then transported to their home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, for sale online. The case has shocked the medical and academic communities, as it undermines the trust in the ethical handling of donated bodies. Lodge faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
