Alejandro Razo, 62, a nurse at Sherman Oaks Hospital, was sentenced to 2 years in County Jail for having sexual intercourse with a corpse of an 82-year-old woman who died of natural causes at the hospital. Razo, who has been a nurse for 20 years, was alone with the body to prepare it for mortuary when another nurse entered the room to discover Razo having sex with the corpse.
Razo was arrested on suspicion of state health and safety code violations. After DNA evidence confirmed Razo committed the crime, he was sentenced to serve 180 days of the two-year sentence under supervised release, attend weekly counseling sessions and sex offender meetings and his nursing license was suspended.
