“We started hearing from the families of loved ones who selflessly donated their bodies to science before they died,” Jonathan Sweet of the Keches Law Group said at a news conference Friday. “In doing so, a trust was formed.” “This case is about an alleged breach of that trust, which has come to light in a very unfortunate way,” Sweet said.
The lawsuit alleges Harvard and morgue manager Cedric Lodge breached their duty of care and were negligent when they failed to take reasonable steps “to ensure that the cadavers were properly handled and maintained for their intended purpose of scientific study and not improperly mishandled, dissected, and/or sold to third parties.” CNN’s attempts to reach Lodge for comment have been unsuccessful. “This case is about getting to the truth about what happened there,” Sweet said Friday.
