Ex-Harvard morgue manager, others arrested for stealing and selling human remains | Oneindia News
In a shocking development in the USA, a group of people have been arrested on federal charges after investigators accused them of taking part in a nationwide scheme to buy, sell and ship human remains across the country.
A total of 7 people has been arrested and charged with stealing and selling human remains from mortuaries at the prestigious Harvard Medical school and from the University of Arkansas for these offences that were committed over a course of time.
These arrests involve an underground and shady network of people that had robbed corpses - including the bodies of two stillborn infants - at Harvard Medical School’s Anatomical Gifts Program and an Arkansas mortuary and crematorium.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says that this conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen organs and cadavers had occurred between 2018 and 2022.
The FBI stated in a release that the manager of the morgue of Harvard medical school, Cedric Lodge, has been taken into custody without incident, along with his wife Denise Lodge and alleged co-conspirator Katrina Maclean, who owns a curiosities store in Salem.
4 other people have also been charged in Pennsylvania for allegedly trafficking stolen human remains.
A seventh person, Candace Chapman Scott, of Little Rock, Arkansas, has already been indicted earlier.
The White House defended President Biden's comments on 'xenophobia' regarding India, China, and Japan, stressing the positive role of immigrants in the US. Biden's remarks, made at a Democratic Party fundraiser, linked economic challenges in these countries to xenophobia, but faced criticism. Nonetheless, the White House reaffirmed Biden's commitment to strengthening ties with allies like India and Japan.

Through our experience managing
Walmart Health centers and
Walmart Health Virtual Care,

Experts' Tips on Taking, Supplements as Sleep-Aids.
'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding
over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they
can really help someone with insomnia.
'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding
over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they
can really help someone with insomnia.
Melatonin has become a popular
supplement in recent years for being
a safe and effective sleep aid.
According to a 2023 study by the American Academy of Sleep
Medicine (AASM), nearly two-thirds of people in the
United States have tried using melatonin to help them sleep. .
It’s not something that is generally
harmful or toxic, which is probably
why people are tempted to take
more when a little bit doesn’t work, Dr. Milena Pavlova, neurologist at Brigham and Women’s
Faulkner Hospital and an associate professor of
neurology at Harvard Medical School, via 'Time'.
'Time' points out that supplements, such as
melatonin, are not regulated by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Similar to melatonin, over-the-counter antihistamines
like Benadryl have become a popular sleep-aid due to
containing doxylamine, which causes drowsiness.
However, doxylamine also comes
with a number of side effects,
including a potential hangover the next day.
The big problem with antihistamines
is they can make people extremely
groggy and really impair cognitive
function the next day, Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, professor of medicine
in the division of sleep medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania, via 'Time'.
While antihistamines can induce
drowsiness, they don't normally
result in quality, restorative sleep.
Experts suggest eliminating things that prevent healthy sleep, like alcohol and caffeine, while also incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.

Biden will call on U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to triple tariffs on Chinese
steel and aluminum, NPR reports. .
Those tariffs are presently at about 7.5%.
While these Chinese imports "account for less than 1% of U.S. demand," the country's steel prices are 40% cheaper than America's, NPR reports. .
The White House is concerned that
this could prompt a surge of exports. .
China's policy-driven overcapacity poses
a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The president understands
we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The Biden administration also sent officials to Mexico to discuss preventing Chinese steel from entering the U.S. via its southern neighbor. .
I want to emphasize our desire to
cooperate and partner with Mexico
on addressing imports coming in
to the North American market as
a way of circumventing tariffs, Senior administration official, via NPR.
I'm not going to get ahead
of the diplomatic conversations
that have happened today and
that will be happening in the
days and weeks to come. , Senior administration official, via NPR.
But I think we're hoping to come to
a mutually acceptable solution with
Mexico, because this is a problem that
affects both of our economies, Senior administration official, via NPR.
