Massachusetts Supreme Court rules Harvard must face lawsuits over alleged body part theft by former morgue worker, citing poor oversight.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled Harvard University must face lawsuits over the alleged theft of body parts by former morgue manager James Lodge, finding the school failed to implement basic safeguards and ignored warning signs like his "Grim-Reaper" license plate.
The court cited systemic oversight failures and "peculiarly pervasive noncompliance," allowing claims against Harvard and former supervisor Cicchetti to proceed, though former administrator Fay was dismissed due to limited involvement.
The decision clears the way for cases to move forward in superior court, emphasizing Harvard’s responsibility in managing donated cadavers despite not directly participating in the alleged misconduct.
