Five nurses at the Denver Health Medical Center were suspended for three weeks after they admired a man’s genitals, both while he was incapacitated at the hospital and after he died.

The incidents occurred between March 31 and April 3, 2017, but weren’t reported until May 8, according to Denver7 News.

In one of the incidents, the nurses opened a body bag to view the man’s sex organs, a hospital official confirmed to the TV station.
