NHS investigation after worker poses for pic in hospital mortuary - and puts it on OnlyFans
Amelie Warnier's raunchy picture is now being investigated by Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which runs her workplace Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex
An NHS pathologist took a racy photograph of herself in her underwear while she was at a hospital mortuary - and then posted it on OnlyFans.
Bosses are investigating Amelie Warnier's snap, understood to have been taken in the morgue waiting room at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. The 44-year-old professional is then believed to have posted the image on OnlyFans during the Covid-19 pandemic.
But Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which operates the hospital, says there are "strict codes of practice" in its mortuaries. It has opened a probe into the mum of two's act, said to have happened after she was encouraged by a friend to create a profile on the adult website.
Speaking to The Sun yesterday, Amelie said: "You only have one life." The pathologist added she deactivated the OnlyFans account - but the raunchy image resurfaced when she relaunched her profile this year.
The image was shared widey online after Amelie uploaded it to OnlyFans, it is understood. As a result, bosses at Broomfield Hospital, which the public watchdog Care Quality Commission rated as Requires improvement this year, became aware of the picture.
"None of her colleagues could believe this when they saw it. Their eyes were popping out. It's so brazen to strip off your scrubs and pose in the morgue," a source told The Sun.
But Amelie, a Spanish native who describes herself as a model and health nutritionist on her Instagram page, hit back at her critics. She told the publication: "I only took that picture when I first opened the account. Someone pushed me to do it and I said f*** it, why not. You only live once... If you're a professional in your job it doesn't matter what you're doing after work."
The mother of two, from Witham, Essex, said a manager called in February complaining about "something recorded in the hospital" and warned her they would need to discuss it. The investigation was opened then and continues, according to reports.
Amelie qualified in pathology - the study of disease - in her native Spain in 2012. She has worked in the NHS for approximately seven years and has reportedly completed "thousands" of autopsies during this period.
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust - which runs 800-bed Broomfield Hospital - said it was taking action in line with its HR policies and procedures. It added that 'strict codes of practice' are followed in its mortuaries and there were stringent controls on who can enter. NHS England's social media guidance warns health service staff that they can still be held to the "standards expected of healthcare professionals" on their personal profiles.

Teenager dies after inhaling cleaning product in social media 'dusting' challenge
A teenager has died after inhaling a cleaning product as part of a social media 'dusting' challenge. Renna O'Rourke dreamed of becoming famous and engaged in the deadly dare, sometimes known as 'huffing' or 'chroming', which involves consuming aerosols such as cleaning products. The 19-year-old from Arizona, USA, was taken to intensive care after suffering a cardiac arrest and was later declared dead on June 1. Her parents, Aaron and Dana, shared their trauma of seeing their daughter die after being put on life support. Aaron wrote on Facebook: 'There's a lot of things that no one should ever have to do, and today I have to do one of them. Say goodbye to my beautiful, wonderful girl Renna. 'From the moment she was born she could light up a room. Everyone that met her always said she had a special spark to her. I'm going to miss talking to her about how cute it was when she was not even 2 years old and I would say let's kick it and she would kick her foot out. Or how she would just make up songs off the cuff and have me record them.' He added: 'I'm currently stunned and broken. It doesn't even feel real. You will always be my little Ren Bear, and you will be missed more than you will ever know, by so many more people than just me.' The heartbroken couple have used their tragedy to warn others of the dangers of engaging in social media dares. Renna and her boyfriend ordered the keyboard cleaning product, named Door Dashed, via an app delivery service. Dana told AZFamily: 'There's no ID required. It's odorless. It's everything kids look for. They can afford it, they can get it, and it doesn't show in mom and dad's drug test.' Renna's organs were donated and have gone on to save at least six lives. Dr Randy Weisman, from the HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center, explained that the substances once inhaled replace oxygen in the body, including the lungs, with chemicals. More Trending This can cause irreversible damage within minutes as the inhaler feels drunk or euphoric, and can lead to liver failure, heart failure or lung disease. At a conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics last year, permanent markers were found to be the most common item used for dusting, appearing in 31 percent of the videos, MailOnline reported. They were followed by air dusters and nail polish, as well as paint thinner, gasoline and spray deodorant. A total of 109 dusting videos were found to have racked up as many as 25 million views.

MARTEL MAXWELL: Dundee 'weight-loss wave' has me tempted by shortcuts
As summer approaches and holidays are planned, it is not unusual to notice a friend – or maybe two – looking fabulous. You do a double take when you see them – they look younger, fresher and thinner. The kind of dramatic weight loss that is transformative. Middle-age spread, pot belly, and puffy face gone. But here's the thing. And it's quite a thing. I'm double taking all the time. Give me any gathering of people in Dundee – school pick-up, kids' football match or a night out – and it's like a Slimming World magazine. Many will have found that oft elusive motivation to shed pounds (we all know how it works), to eat less and move more. Others – and not just the ones who admit to it – will have taken the short cut of injecting the new, increasingly-prominent, weight-loss drugs which suppress appetite and work to shift excess fat. More power to both camps – no judgement. But it's getting a bit Twilighty. It's like body snatchers are sneaking down to Dundee as night falls, replacing the lumpy and bumpy with Instagram-edited version of themselves – all flat stomachs and cheekbones. Regular readers of my column will know I've touched on this before, including last year when I discussed the Ozempic boom. I told you about a friend who admitted she was on the weight-loss jabs. She all but tapped her nose as we looked around the ladies' charity lunch we were at and said: 'Mark my words, women here are on it.' She told me she'd developed a sixth sense in telling who was on the medication. My friend was brilliantly honest, explaining how she paid for the jabs and how she couldn't shift the middle-aged spread which had taken her from a size 10 to 14. No clothes fitted and it was getting her down. She quickly lost a stone with the jabs but also admitted they affected her mood and made her a bit sick for the first few weeks. Another friend who's gone from a size 16 to 10 says she has had no side effects. She has more energy and claims the jabs took away her desire to drink as much alcohol, which was becoming a daily few glasses of wine after work. Fast forward eight months and sudden transformations are everywhere. I have also noticed an increase in people committing to sport, which is great. One friend is wild swimming twice a week while another is running ultra marathons. And one has even started her own CrossFit business – PeaceFit in Wormit. Many mutual friends attend her classes and look awesome – stronger, fitter and toned. I've noticed couples losing weight together. Going back to the jabs, I suppose it's too easy for the muffin tops like me to point a finger and say everyone's on them. But who wouldn't want a quick fix? A stone down for summer? The reintroduction of a bikini following a decade of covering up after kids and – if I'm entirely honest – dieting and sporadic exercise interspersed with occasional gluttony… I'm tempted myself. However, if something seems too good to be true, maybe, just maybe, it is. The jury is still out, with research pointing to the possibility of health complications involved with the jabs. This can be counter-argued with the fact obesity can cause diabetes, heart problems and cancer. Shifting weight if you're over 40 has the magical plus of shifting a few years in appearance too – puffy faces and pot bellies begone. Some of the people I'm seeing seem to have had a magical elixir of youth. If I sound envious, I probably am. Let me know if you've seen a younger, slimmer Dundee – and maybe even if you've taken a shortcut yourself. Bon appétit!

Covid Nimbus variant in UK 'causes hospital surge' in some countries
Health experts have issued 'stay at home' advice and officials said in countries where it is rampant a big increase in serious infections has happened Top health officials have said people should 'stay indoors' if they feel they have Covid symptoms after a new strain was detected in the UK. Worryingly, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) highlighted that in other countries where the new 'Nimbus' variant is widespread, it has led to a big rise in hospitalisations. In a new blog the UKHSA said the fresh NB.1.8.1 variant spread, is being monitored by the World Health Organisation. Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, the Deputy Director at UKHSA, said: "NB.1.8.1 has been detected in small numbers in the UK to date, but international data suggests that it is growing as a proportion of all Covid-19 cases." 'Based on the available information so far however, there is no evidence to suggest that this variant causes more severe disease than previous variants, or that the vaccines in current use will be less effective against it.' The UKHSA added: "NB.1.8.1 has been detected in small numbers in the UK to date, and international data suggests that it is growing as a proportion of all COVID-19 cases. Although cases and hospitalisations are increasing in some countries where NB.1.8.1 is widespread, current data does not indicate that this variant leads to more severe illness than other variants in circulation. "The most important thing to do is to get your vaccination when it is due if you're eligible. It's normal for viruses to mutate and change, and as more data becomes available on this variant we'll have a better understanding of how it interacts with our immune systems and how to optimise our protection, as well as actions we can take to keep the most vulnerable safe and live our lives as normally as possible." With the rise of the Nimbus variant, the UKHSA has issued advice on what people should do if they catch it - including wearing a mask if they go out. They stated: "If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, you should avoid contact with vulnerable people and stay at home if possible." The UKHSA further advised that if a person leaves their home while they have symptoms of a respiratory infection, and you have a high temperature or feel unwell, they should "avoid close contact with anyone who you know is at higher risk of becoming seriously unwell, especially those whose immune system means that they are at higher risk of serious illness, despite vaccination." UKHSA advice on reducing chance of passing on infection to others: Wear a well-fitting face covering made with multiple layers or a surgical face mask Avoid crowded places such as public transport, large social gatherings, or anywhere that is enclosed or poorly ventilated Taking any exercise outdoors in places where you will not have close contact with other people Covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze; wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitiser after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose and before you eat or handle food; avoid touching your face.
