Kindergarten teacher April Parham, whose corpse was allegedly sexually abused by hospital security guard Cameron Wright hours after she died Wednesday

April was reportedly targeted by Wright as her remains lay in a cold storage room awaiting organ removal surgery

23 years Cameron Wright former security guard at St. Francis Hospital, was jailed on a $3,000 bond, and his arraignment is expected sometime Friday. A woman identified as Wright’s sister said she thought Wright was a “good person” who needed help.

“I mean, ‘cause anybody that does something like that, there’s got to be something wrong with them,” she said, according to the station.

The hospital wrote that their guards were contracted from U.S. Security Associates and underwent background checks, Fox 13 reported.

April’s distraught dad James Parham told WMCA5: ‘After you pass, we think finally she’s not suffering, she’s not hurting no more and to find out this. It’s devastating. It hurt.’

The woman’s father was still reeling from the death of his daughter, who was a 37-year-old kindergarten teacher, WBTV reported. He said his daughter had suffered a heart attack, according to the station. And he told Fox 13 that he and April’s family needed ‘concrete answers, and somebody held accountable,’ adding: ‘It’s hard enough.’

A hospital spokesman said Wright was subcontracted through a security company and had passed a background check.

Police say another security guard and a member of the Mid-South Transplant Foundation found Wright desecrating the corpse and called the police.

The hospital released a statement to Local Memphis and other outlets saying they were “saddened” by the incident and announcing they had fired Wright.

Their statement continued “Treating those we serve with dignity and respect is our top priority. The behavior of this individual does not represent what our hospital stands for, and these actions are completely unacceptable,” the hospital wrote, according to Local Memphis. “We are saddened by this incident, and we are empathetic and sympathetic to the family of the patient.”
