text: documentary about the bizarre story of a man obsessed with his dead wife? there was a documentary or film (non-fiction) that aired between 2001-2003 on hbo, cinnemax or starz late at night. it was a very unusual story about a man who fell in love with a nurse (i think). the nurse died young from something and the husband (a doctor i think) became obsessed with her. he got permission from the parents to bury her above ground and treat her body with chemicals to perserve her better. he would spend hours, nights and then days in the above ground tomb (a small room on a graveyard) that housed her body. he then stole the body and lived with the corpse (sleeping with her, and even having sexual contact with her) before he was discovered.   i can't find the name of the film or any information about the events or people that would lead me to find the film or more info about this bizarre story. someone else must have seen this film or know about this case? i know it!!! it wasn't a film exactly. it was autopsy with dr. baden. i think autopsy 6??? but there was someone von cosel who treated this girl, she died, he was in love, yada yada yada, you remembered the story pretty well. i hope this helps.
