Scandal Unveiled: Harvard's Morgue Misdeeds Haunt Ivy League Giant

In a significant legal development, Harvard University faces a renewed legal battle as Massachusetts' top court has ruled in favor of families alleging gross mishandling of donated bodies by its medical school.

The allegations center on ex-morgue manager Cedric Lodge, who, according to prosecutors, devised a scheme to sell body parts on the black market.

This ruling reignites the lawsuits, underscoring failure in oversight and addressing institutional accountability, pushing Harvard into a defensive stance as it combats serious accusations of negligence.
