The Associated Press is reporting:
The 
staff at a Veterans Affairs hospital in the Tampa Bay, Florida area left a body in a shower for over nine hours after a veteran died and proper pickup procedures to the morgue weren’t followed.
The Tampa Bay Times on Sunday (http://bit.ly/2goW2NK ) reported that an internal investigation concluded that staff at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System failed to provide appropriate post-mortem care to the veteran’s body.
The investigative report said that leaving the body unattended for so long increased the chance of decomposition.
The unnamed veteran died in February after spending time in hospice care.
The hospital’s Administrative Investigation Board ordered retraining for staff.
Hospital spokesman Jason Dangel says hospital officials view what happened as unacceptable.
