An employee at Connecticut's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has been placed on paid leave for allowing her husband to peek at the body of Sandy Hook school shooter Adam Lanza, officials told ABC News today.
Jean Henry, an administrative worker in the medical examiner's office, let her husband into the refrigerated room in the secure facility in Farmington, Conn., on Dec. 16 to view Lanza's body, officials said. Her husband does not work for the medical examiner.
Henry and her husband viewed the body on the gurney, and Henry even unzipped the bag so her husband could view the corpse. Once Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver learned of the incident, Henry was put on leave on Dec. 20. The incident was first reported by the Hartford Courant.
The spokesperson for the medical examiner told ABC News the matter is under investigation, but they do not know how long it will take.
