Anatomical Gift Association and Midwestern University Medical School Lose Body, Conceal Facts of Loss From Widow and Family
July 21, 2009
On Tuesday, July 21, 2009, attorneys from Leahy & Hoste filed a lawsuit on behalf of Margaret H. Hejna against the Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois and Midwestern University, alleging that these institutions lost the body of Margaret's deceased husband, James J. Hejna, which was donated for purposes of medical study. The suit alleges that the Chicago-based AGA concealed the loss of Mr. Hejna's body through repeated verbal misrepresentations and that MU of Downers Grove lost Mr. Hejna's body and eventually had his body cremated and delivered to an unnamed family. MU has refused to identify the family currently in possession of Mr. Hejna's remains.
