A class action lawsuit has been filed against Harvard Medical School and its former morgue manager, a New Hampshire man, after federal prosecutors said he stole, sold and shipped human body parts across the country.
A former manager at the school's morgue, his wife, and three others were charged with trafficking human remains this week.
The disclosure of an alleged human body parts trafficking operation connected to the Harvard Medical School morgue’s fallout has begun with the filing of a lawsuit against the school and the employee allegedly responsible for these “deplorable acts.”
The son of a woman whose body was donated to Harvard Medical School for research purposes filed a class-action lawsuit on Friday on behalf of all families who believe their loved ones' body parts were mishandled by the school's former morgue manager.
The lawsuit said the class could include the families of up to 400 donated cadavers at the Harvard morgue.
