A university student was expelled for posting footage of a human body being dissected in class.

The video of the cadaver - which had been donated for medical science - was shared on social media in violation of strict ethical rules.

The University of Dundee said the student's behaviour was "not in keeping" with the institution's values, while the Scottish government said the university "took appropriate action" as soon as the alarm was raised.

The body was bequeathed to the university to help train the next generation of doctors and scientists.
