Harvard Medical School is settling for $53 million after families sued over the mishandling of donated bodies—exposed when former morgue manager Cedric Lodge admitted to stealing and selling cadaver parts on the black market between 2018 and 2021. Lodge, sentenced to eight years, and his wife, sentenced to one year and a day, were part of a broader indictment that led to civil suits revived by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The settlement funds will go to affected families, while Harvard also pledges an annual scholarship for anatomical donors starting in 2027–2028, acknowledging the profound moral failure and ongoing healing needed.
