Posted: 01/12/2011
WASHINGTON, Ind. - Police say an Ohio man accused of having sex with a corpse told investigators he didn't at first realize the woman was dead.
Richard Elwood Sanden, 55, of Geneva, Ohio, was being held on $500,000 bond Wednesday in the Daviess County Jail in Washington, Ind., on charges including abuse of a corpse and possession of marijuana.
The Washington Times-Herald reports police arrested Sanden on Saturday night after they were called to the dead woman's apartment.
The newspaper reports Sanden told police he was having sex with the 48-year-old woman whom he had known for a few months when he realized she wasn't breathing. He told police he administered CPR and called an ambulance.
The woman's cause of death remains under investigation.
