New Hampshire family devastated after learning father’s remains were sold (includes video story)

A New Hampshire family was devastated to discover their dad’s remains were stolen and peddled online.

Prosecutors said the manager of the morgue at Harvard Medical School took the body parts of several people and sold them for tens of thousands of dollars, leaving the families who donated their loved ones’ bodies in shock.

“They trusted them to do good science work with their body, and then you have this,” said Paula Peltonavich, daughter of victim Nick Pichowicz. “I just feel bad for everybody that’s been victimized with this. It’s just not right.”

Families await further explanations for what happened.
