The wife of the former director of the morgue of Harvard Medical School in the United States has pleaded guilty to a federal charge after investigators reported that she shipped stolen human organs to buyers.
Dennis Lodge, 64, a resident of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Pennsylvania to the interstate transport of stolen goods, according to court records.
Federal prosecutors last year announced the charges against Dennis, her husband Cedric and five others in an alleged conspiracy in which a network of people across the country was involved in buying and selling human remains stolen from Harvard University and an Arkansas morgue.
Authorities said the autopsy bodies donated to the kidney were taken between 2018 and early 2023 without the knowledge or permission of the faculty.
The Pennsylvania man, Thompson resident Jeremy Pooley, is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty last year to conspiracy and interstate transfers of stolen organs.
Dennis Lodge’s lawyer, Hope Louviere, said in an interview with “WBUR” in February that her client’s husband “was doing it and she kind of got along with it.”
Bodies donated to Harvard Medical School are used for medical education and research, and the bodies are cremated after completion and the ashes are returned to the donor’s family or buried in the cemetery.
