Description
— True crime stories from the morgue
— Famous deaths and autopsy stories
resolved, such as Antarctic explorer
Sir Ernest Shackleton and the case of
Anne Greene, who survived her
execution by hanging The post-mortem examination. A glimpse inside the interior of the human being. Many find
the idea fascinating; for others it is creepy or even repugnant. There are still numerous myths
and horror stories surrounding the autopsy, many of them associated with primal human
fears such as that of being buried alive, which have existed since Antiquity. It is precisely for
this reason that it is important to carry out the post-mortem examination with the utmost
conscientiousness. Pathologist Roland Sedivy provides an exciting insight into his profession.
Profound and with tremendous humour, he tells us about the early days of the autopsy, and
shares with us some macabre and some mysterious cases.
