Massachusetts: Cedric Lodge, a 55-year-old mortuary manager at Harvard Medical College, was arrested for selling organs.
According to the international news agency, 55-year-old Cedric Lodge, the manager of the world-famous Harvard Medical College in the US state of Pennsylvania, together with his wife and 5 other workers, removed organs from dead bodies and smuggled them domestically and abroad through a nationwide network. What did you do?
The mortuary manager would take the stolen organs to his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where his wife sold the organs to two other suspects, Katrina McLean and Joshua Taylor.
In addition, Cedric Lodge sometimes allowed McLean, 44, and Taylor, 46, to enter the morgue. Where both the accused chose the organ of their choice and bought it after fixing the price.
McLean sent a dead skin to co-accused Taylor to consider using it to make leather.
The manager of Harvard College negotiated several times with these two human organ traffickers. Cedric, the manager, was fired after being caught, and was also arrested when the evidence came out in the investigation.
Attorney Gerard Crum said some crimes are beyond comprehension. It is especially sad that the families here volunteered the bodies of their loved ones to educate medical professionals and advance the interests of science and healing.
“We are shocked to learn that something so disturbing could happen on our campus,” said George Daley, dean of Harvard University’s faculty of medicine, and Edward Hundert, dean of medical education, in a joint statement.
