How forensic professionals determine the cause of an unnatural or violent death.

Introduction by. Dr Cyril Wecht. Postmortem is written for a student of forensic science, yet is understandable by laymen or just those curious after watching shows like CSI. It is no nonsense, straight-forward, and explains step by step how the process of investigating a suspicious death are handled, including cases where religion forbid the 'mutilation' autopsy of the body. This has given me a whole new appreciation for the amount of work that goes into determining cause of death and just how fast some parts move and how slow others take. Trust me, reality is much more interesting than fiction.

The following is a list of the causes of human deaths worldwide for the year 2002, arranged by their associated mortality rates. There were 57,029,000 deaths tabulated for that year. Wecht, Et. Mark Curriden. The world's foremost forensic expert takes the stand in some of the most sensational cases this century. For over 30 years, Cyril Wecht has been the forensic expert called upon by the authorities whenever there has been a case of world-shattering importance and/or controversy. Outspoken but grounding his views in solid scientific fact, he now casts his own verdict for the first time

How forensic professionals determine the cause of an unnatural or violent death.

Just how realistic are the autopsy scenes in television's CSI? Using full-color photographs and detailed illustrations, Postmortem provides an exhaustive exposé of what really goes on in the autopsy room. The authors draw on 20 real-life case studies to describe the postmortem team of experts, the procedures they perform and the ways in which evidence is collected and interpreted. There are profiles of all the experts involved, including the scene photographer, the ballistics expert and the forensic toxicologist.

The entire postmortem process is described in step-by-step detail, from photographing the body to weighing the organs and testing body fluids and tissue samples. Postmortem takes the reader on a fascinating journey to the truth that covers:

The death scene investigation Determination of identity Autopsy room protocol Determination of the cause and manner of death The external examination The internal examination

The case studies cited highlight extraordinary real-life situations, including death scenes that challenged investigators, botched autopsies, and initial examinations that puzzled pathologists and led them down the wrong path.

Postmortem is a gripping story, perfect for true crime and forensics buffs.

it was O,K,

Interested in forensic anthropology, I imagined _Postmortem_ would be a detailing of forensic pathology, given the credential of the authors (one has a Master's in Public Health and PhD, the other an MD and JD.) Instead, to my dismay, I found the book a very general and simplified explanation of the chain of custody of death investigators and what their respective roles and jobs are.

Given the vocabulary, organization and material, I imagine the book is primarily geared towards middle-schoolers (ages 10 - 14). The material isn't bad or inaccurate, or even poorly written - for its intended audience, it is appropriate (perhaps even a bit graphic - there are images of GSW - gun shot wounds, electrical burns and the foaming associated with drowning), but it is not nearly as sophisticated as I hoped it would be. Caveat emptor.

Very good!

Postmortem is a book to read if you like crime scenes. I enjoy first 48 hours and CIS and many others. I like to understand what doctors are speaking of and the terms. This book Postmortem will give you all the answer you need.

EXCELLENT!! I read it so many years ago that I don't recall anything specific other than that I loved loved this book, a must for anyone fascinated with forensic pathology. I was trying to get into med school at the time and wanted to be an ME and this book was great.

I admit.....I purchased this book out of morbid curiosity as to what takes place after we die. The whole process of autopsies for unattended deaths, etc.. This "educational book" seems as if it were written for elementary school kids. ......ZZZZZ...ZZZZ..ZZ, WHAT A SNOOZER! It's published in big print with uninteresting photos, and the content is more along the lines of something you might read in a pamphlet. Cautiously informative with great care taken to NOT show anything "gruesome" or "offensive". Well, it's A BOOK ABOUT AUTOPSIES. Autopsies are indeed gruesome and offensive, it's dead people. Dead people who are cut open and systematically eviscerated for scientific purposes. So...if you are like me and was wanting something to quell your curiosity regarding what happens in autopsies, you will not get your answers from this book. At all.
