Widower Visiting Dead Wife In Hospital Finds Nurse Having S3x With Corpse

A grieving widower allegedly caught a male nurse having sex with his wife's corpse as he visited her one last time in hospital.

The nurse was beaten by the grief-stricken partner before being handed over to police in the Bolivian capital La Paz.

He was named locally last night as Grover Macuchapi, 27. He is now facing prosecution on charges of profaning a corpse and obscene acts.

Police chief Douglas Uzquiano said the incident happened around an hour after the patient died at Hospital de Clinicas in La Paz on Monday and was transferred to a hospital morgue.
