Man performed sex act on a corpse after breaking into hospital mortuary | UK News [Video]

A man faces jail after admitting a serious sexual offence against a corpse.

Damon Tingay, 30, was arrested after breaking into the mortuary of Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby in the early hours of March 17.

The man, of no fixed address, also pleaded guilty to trespass with the intention of committing sexual offences while appearing at Hull Crown Court on Monday.
