Alexander Grunke, a 38-year-old man from Middleton, Wisconsin, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound following a homicide in Iowa and a police pursuit and home invasion in Dane County. Grunke had a previous criminal conviction in 2010 for attempting to dig up a dead woman so his brother could have sex with the body. He was convicted of attempted criminal damage to a cemetery, attempted theft, and attempted 3rd degree sexual assault, as at the time, Wisconsin did not have a law specific to necrophilia.

A government-ordered inquiry in the UK has revealed serious failings at hospitals where an electrician, David Fuller, was able to have sex with over 100 corpses over a 15-year period without being detected. Fuller's necrophilia was discovered in 2020 when police tied him to the 1987 murders of two women and found millions of images of sexual abuse in his home, including videos of him engaging in sexual acts with dead bodies. The inquiry report highlighted management, governance, regulation, and process failures that allowed Fuller to offend, and made recommendations to prevent such abuse in the future. Fuller is serving a life sentence for murder and a concurrent 12-year term for necrophilia.
An independent inquiry in the UK has found "serious failings" at hospitals that allowed a necrophiliac murderer, David Fuller, to abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls for 15 years without being caught. Fuller, dubbed the "morgue monster," was already suspected in two sexually motivated killings when police discovered the extent of his offending in hospital morgues. The inquiry blamed management and governance failings, along with a lack of adherence to standard procedures. Fuller's abuse went unnoticed and unchecked, with senior officials allegedly aware of problems in the mortuary's operation as early as 2008. Fuller was given two whole-life sentences for the killings and a concurrent 12-year sentence for his other crimes.
