June 14 (Reuters) - The former morgue manager at Harvard Medical School was among five people indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday over allegations they stole and sold body parts from cadavers donated to the school, federal prosecutors said.
The buyers mostly resold the body parts, prosecutors said.
A sixth person was previously charged in Arkansas in the same investigation on suspicion of stealing body parts from a mortuary she worked for, prosecutors said.
People whose body parts were sold had volunteered their remains to be used to educate medical professionals, Karam said.
The Harvard Medical School cooperated with the investigation, he said.
