'What does that 21-year-old woman see in that rich old doctor?' Errr, how about nothing as she's dead and he's put glass eyes in her corpse to make it more sensual when he shags her? This isn't the world's worst joke, it's the horrifying true story of Carl Tanzler, a lovestruck medic who shacked up with one his young patients... years after she died.


Age gap relationships can be icky at the best of times, but when a wrinkly old doctor is shagging a DEAD 21-year-old with a cardboard tube in her vagina, we are entering a whole new bracket of WTF.
