2 Pa. students charged with abusing cadavers during class: report

By

Two University of Pittsburgh students are accused of violating medical cadavers during an anatomy lab last month, according to a story from KDKA.

University police told the news outlet that Sonel Jimenez and Amay Gupta are each being charged with one count of abuse of corpse for improperly treating medical cadavers during a class at Victoria Hall on Nov. 4.

Police said that Jimenez was seen by multiple individuals using his fingers to violate a female cadaver, while Gupta was reported by students for making inappropriate comments while sticking his fingers inside a male cadaver’s chest.

Jimenez admitted to police that he touched parts of the female cadaver, saying that he was curious, while Gupta admitted to officers that he might have made an inappropriate comment.

Police said both students acknowledged to officials that they had been instructed to be respectful towards the bodies.

Jimenez and Gupta both have a preliminary hearing scheduled for next month, KDKA said.
