A 24-year-old New York City man has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a 92-year-old woman's corpse inside the morgue of the hospital where he worked. Anthony Merino, who works as a lab technician at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, N.J., was arrested after a guard reported witnessing the lab technician "sexually desecrating" the woman's dead body."When you think you've heard and seen it all, something like this happens," said police spokesman Lt. Dean Kazinci. A spokesman for Holy Name Hospital released a statement calling the allegations a "heinous crime." "We are horrified and saddened for the family of the patient and are completely empathic and sympathetic to them," the statement continues. Janina Scheytt Hecht, a spokeswoman for Overlook Hospital, confirmed that Merino worked for the hospital from Sept. 10, 2007, until last Monday. "He has been terminated," Hecht said, adding that Merino was subject to a background check there before he was hired.
