   DENVER – Five nurses at Denver Health Medical Center were   
   suspended for three weeks after they inappropriately viewed a   
   deceased patient’s body and talked about it, a hospital   
   spokesman confirmed to Denver7 Investigates Tuesday.   
      
   A tip to Denver7 said the nurses disciplined admired the size of   
   the deceased patient’s genitals and at one point opened a body   
   bag to view parts of the body. A hospital spokesman confirmed   
   details of the incident.   
      
   A different nurse heard one of the disciplined nurses make a   
   comment in May that the nurse felt was inappropriate and   
   reported it to hospital staff, Denver Health Medical Center   
   spokesman Josh Rasmussen said.   
      
   “Multiple staff members viewed the victim while he was   
   incapacitated, including after he was deceased,” a Denver Police   
   report says. “The complainant, Risk Management for Denver   
   Health, made a mandatory report.”   
      
   Rasmussen originally said two nurses were disciplined after the   
   internal investigation, but later said five nurses were   
   suspended following the investigation's conclusion.   
      
   The report says the incidents occurred between March 31 and   
   April 3, 2017, but weren’t reported until May 8.   
      
   Rasmussen said although the nurses received discipline   
   considered “serious,” four nurses ultimately returned to work.   
   One nurse no longer is employed by the hospital, but wasn't   
   terminated. The nurses will have a record of the discipline   
   placed in their personnel files, Rasmussen said.   
      
   Denver Police confirm they responded to the incident but say the   
   decision was made to have Denver Health Medical Center handle   
   the issue internally.   
      
   "A DPD officer did speak with one of our on-call prosecutors at   
   the time," Ken Lane, communications director for the Denver   
   District Attorney's Office, said. "They determined there was   
   insufficient evidence to prove a crime was committed, no charges   
   were filed, and referred the matter back to Denver Health to   
   handle internally."   
      
   Rasmussen said he could not provide the names of the nurses   
   involved. He said the nurses worked in a medical unit of the   
   hospital but did not disclose which unit.
