Harvard Morgue Manager And Associates Charged With Trafficking Human Remains, Sold Parts Via Facebook And PayPal
Yahoo News ^ | June 17, 2023 | Staff

A former employee at the Harvard Medical School morgue has been charged with selling human remains from donated bodies and allowing buyers to choose which parts they wanted, according to federal prosecutors.

The morgue’s manager, Cedric Lodge, was part of a massive nationwide network that bought and sold human remains stolen from the university’s medical school. From 2018 to 2022, Lodge and his wife, Denise Lodge, stole the corpses, removed parts such as the head, brain, skin, and bones, and sold them to their accomplices. They would also allow their buyers to come into the morgue and pick whichever parts they had their eye on.

One of the main buyers, Katrina Maclean, allegedly agreed to purchase two human faces for a total of $600. Prosecutors also stated Maclean kept the remains she purchased and resold them through her store, Kat’s Creepy Creations, which sells "creations that shock the mind & shake the soul" according to her Instagram page. A second buyer named Joshua Taylor sent more than $37,000 to Denise for body parts between September 2018 and July 2021.

Taylor had also added memos to his payments describing what he wanted. A payment for $1,000 came with a memo that read “head number 7,” and another for $200 that said “braiiiiiins.” The operation allegedly also involved buyers purchasing stillborn babies that were supposed to be cremated and returned to their families.

So, no one at Harvard got a clue about this guy from his looks as far as hiring him to be in charge of the morgue?

Duh. Harvard. Duh.

So, Facebook and PayPal are okay with this, just not with supporting Trump. Got it.

I didn't know that zombines knew how to use PayPal.

A regular buffet. Now that's customer service.

How did the university not know this? Missing bodies and parts and random people coming into the morgue and walking out with packages? Of course, they all knew and likely split the profits.

Horrifying but this has been going on for centuries only it was the schools that bought bodies from grave snatchers.

Just Facebook, why not ebay?

A nice example of a brain with little evidence of use. Starting bid: $50

Cedric and Denise Lodge:

They looked like escapees from a Dickens novel.
