Man Arrested for Sexual Contact with Death Bodies and Breaking Into Medical Examiner's Office
Investigators say Fenris Lu broke into the office and had sexual contact with several bodies, and a judge set a $500,000 cash bond.
- On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, authorities arrested 31-year-old Fenris Lu after he allegedly used a crowbar to break into the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office in Phoenix following a 911 call around 1:33 a.m.
- Prosecutors charged Lu with burglary and sexual conduct with a dead person, alleging he broke the seal on 11 body bags and had contact with multiple corpses during the break-in.
- A commissioner set a $500,000 cash bond for Lu, who did not appear in person for his initial court hearing on Wednesday due to combative behavior deemed a danger to himself and others.
- The Maricopa County Attorney's Office successfully sealed court documents, citing the need for law enforcement to notify next of kin and assess whether Lu's actions compromised evidence in other criminal investigations.
- Forensic testing, autopsies, and organ donations remain paused at the facility, with Lu scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 29, 2026.
