The Worst Thing Found In A Dead Body
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.
