Forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd has spent more than 40 years investigating sudden, suspicious and unexplained deaths, examining around 23,000 bodies and working on some of the most high-profile cases in modern British history.
In this episode of Honesty Box, Dr Shepherd answers your questions about what really happens during a post-mortem, how forensic pathologists determine a cause of death, decomposition, DNA evidence, dismemberment and the mistakes killers make. He also discusses his involvement in the investigations surrounding Princess Diana, 9/11 and Stephen Lawrence, as well as what decades spent around death have taught him about mortality.
From whether a body can ever become too decomposed to investigate, to what a mortuary is really like behind closed doors, Dr Shepherd gives a fascinating insight into forensic pathology, criminal investigations and the science of death.
