Dolly Parton made the best chicken and dumplings I ever ate. On lunch break she would knock on my trailer door with melt-in-your-mouth dumplings, biscuits, gravy, green beans.Every day it was a southern feast. I had never seen an actor actually use the cooking facilities in their trailer before but she had it all going on. I still have Dolly’s Tupperware…

OMG THIS IS THE “SCIENCE” the left is so proud of HORRIFYING TRUE STORY.,,.. Yes, the core claim is true. Harvard University (specifically Harvard Medical School) has agreed to a $53 million class-action settlement to resolve lawsuits from families of people whose donated remains were stolen and sold on the black market by a former morgue employee. https://t.co/czKKcKZepj
The settlement, which received preliminary court approval around August 18–19, 2026, stems from the actions of Cedric Lodge, the longtime manager of Harvard Medical School’s Anatomical Gift Program morgue. Between roughly 2018 and 2022, Lodge stole body parts (including heads, faces, brains, skin, organs, and hands) from cadavers that had been donated for medical education and research. He transported them to his home and sold them (with his wife and other co-conspirators) to buyers in other states as part of a black-market scheme. Lodge pleaded guilty, was sentenced to eight years in prison in late 2025, and several others involved also pleaded guilty. https://t.co/RFHv0rxUuR
Families sued Harvard starting in 2023, alleging negligence, failure to properly supervise Lodge, and mishandling of the donated remains. Early dismissals were later reversed by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, allowing the cases to proceed. The $53 million deal (split across class-action funds for affected families) does not include an admission of liability by Harvard. Additional terms include a statement to families affirming that Lodge’s acts were “morally reprehensible” and the creation of a scholarship in honor of anatomical donors. https://t.co/1V1ecuMnbE
The phrasing in the post (“Harvard to pay $53M in suit over selling donated corpses…”) is accurate about the settlement amount and the underlying scandal but slightly shorthand—Harvard itself did not sell the remains; its former employee did, and the university is settling the related civil claims over alleged oversight failures. This is corroborated by multiple outlets including the BBC, Washington Post, The Guardian, Reuters, The Harvard Crimson, and the New York Post (which used nearly identical wording). https://t.co/wJtPHjimRp
In short: the reported settlement and the black-market body-parts scandal are real and recent.
