Maharajji denied sending pictures of the corpse, but accepted other issues.
An investigation by the Complaints, Investigations and Prosecutions Unit (CIPU) found that the alleged incident did indeed occur.
Other aspects of the complaint were dismissed.
The complainant said Maharaj sent a photo of the body in the unzipped body bag using the messaging function, which could only be viewed briefly before it was automatically deleted.

But McConnell saw little of his remorse.
“Throughout the process, he largely blamed the petitioner for violations, saying she was yelling at him with text messages when he was at work and wanting to know what he was doing. He justified his actions by saying, but he provided no evidence.

His penalty for misconduct was reprimand and a $600 fine.
By the time the complaint was filed, Maharaj had voluntarily quit his job.
He was also banned from working at the university and received a final warning from his employer.
