Who knew it wasn't?
ALTON • Spurred by cases in which bodies of overdose victims were moved to thwart investigations, Illinois state Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, is sponsoring a bill to make unauthorized movement of a corpse a felony.
It also would criminalize something that even Madison County Coroner Steve Nonn thought was already illegal — having sex with the dead.
Beiser said he introduced the legislation at the request of Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons and other law enforcement officials. Gibbons called the relocation of overdose victims an "impediment to investigation" in several cases.
Prohibiting sex with a dead body corrects an obvious omission in the law, Beiser said.
I worry, however, that further restricting the movement of corpses might make it harder for Illinois politicians to get them into the voting booth.

Well, shit, there go my plans for next weekend.
Stupid FIBs, we got this "sex with dead bodies" business all sorted out almost 4 years ago in Wisconsin, and all it took was a little extremely tortured reasoning from our Supreme Court to get it done.
