One of two new lawsuits filed against Harvard in the wake of bombshell allegations a morgue employee was stealing and selling body parts donated to the university’s medical school reveals the employee may have identified as the “Grim Reaper.”” which implicated HMS morgue employee Cedric Lodge, 55, of Goffstown, N.H., and four others, including his wife, Denise Lodge, 63.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a Deerfield woman named Anne Weiss, “individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated” against Harvard as well as the Harvard Medical Center. The complaint states that Weiss is one of three surviving daughters of Dr. William and Mrs. Nancy Buchanan of Greenfield. William Buchanan made arrangements to donate his body to the medical school — the pediatrician’s alma mater — prior to his death at 90 in 2018.

The suit joins one filed two days after news of the alleged body part trafficking ring by the Bridgewater-based Keches Law Group on behalf of Tewksbury’sand whose body plaintiff believes to have been one of the up to 400 or so donated to be sold piecemeal.
