These are my corrections. The man had been alive when the nurse had checked on him during last night's round, so he couldn't have been dead for long.

@MadsH I have an additional question.
By “during the last night round,” I tried to mean that the nurse made the night round shortly before she found the patient dead, not “the nurse made the round last night and found the patient dead.”
Do I still need to change “during the last night round” to “last night’s round”? Is there any way to express clearly what I meant to say?

@june ‘The nurse made last night's round and saw that the patient was alive; however, shortly after she found him dead.’ Is what I would put.
