Autopsy Assistant Caught Having Sex With Corpse

An autopsy assistant has been fired in Brazil after allegedly being caught having s.e.x with a dead woman.

The 52-year-old, named locally as Wanderley dos Santos Silva, was sacked after a colleague discovered him lying on top of a young woman due for an autopsy.

The shocking incident happened at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in the Amazon capital of Manaus.

Local reports said he had been drunk at the time and a second colleague he had been out boozing with was also given his marching orders.

The institute has now installed cameras.

A police investigation is ongoing and if the shamed worker ends up being charged, he could face up to three years in prison.
