Families sue Harvard over theft of body parts from morgue, saying loved ones were picked over ‘like trinkets at a flea market’

"like trinkets at a flea market," according to a class action lawsuit filed Wednesday.

It also accuses the school of having lax policies and failing to properly screen and supervise its staff. Wilder's father, Glenn Wilder Sr., had told his family he wanted his remains donated to the school's Anatomical Gift Program"for the greater good," the suit said. The family upheld his wish following his death on June 1, 2019.

Harvard had the remains for nearly two years before returning what the school said were his ashes, according to the lawsuit.
