Apparently necrophilia is back and popping in Tennessee, and when we get zombies, this might be a reason why. 23 year old security guard Cameron Wright was arrested and charged for abuse of a corpse inside a storage room at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Police say that Wright admitted to the crime, and was released on $3,000 bail earlier today. The hospital released a statement, claiming that the actions of the security guard do not represent what the hospital stands for and that they are “saddened” by the incident. The hospital also apologized to the family of the victim.
Mr. Wright’s sister, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke with reporters on the story, says that her brother’s personality was “child-like” and raised questions about his mental state.
“I think he’s still a good person, he just needs help,” she said. “I mean, because anybody that does something like that, there’s got to be something wrong with them.”
The victims father also released a statement, lamenting their inability to properly grieve because of the inappropriateness of the act, stating that the whole incident was “unfair” to them. The victim was in the hospital awaiting organ removal, as she had elected to be an organ donor.
