Five Denver nurses peeked at a stiff’s genitals while he was laid up in a body bag — and “admired” what they saw, according to a report.
The nurses, who work at the Denver Health Medical Center, were suspended for three weeks for the hospital peep show, the Denver Post reported.
A hospital spokesman said the nurses “admired” the size of the dead patient’s genitals, and opened the body bag to view the victim’s body, according to the report.
The peeping incident occurred sometime between March 31 and April 3, but it was not reported until May, when another nurse overheard one nurse from the disciplined group make an inappropriate comment and notified hospital staff, according to the Denver Post.
Denver police responded to the incident, but allowed the hospital to handle the matter internally, according to the report.
“Multiple staff members viewed the victim while he was incapacitated, including after he was deceased,” a Denver police report said. “The complainant, Risk Management for Denver Health, made a mandatory report.”
