Crime Scene: Body. A Forensic Pathologist on Suspicious Deaths, Autopsies and Investigations

Mary Cassidy has a straightforward approach to death: you have to understand it. And if there is evidence that it was a violent act, you must take action so that justice prevails. Over her 30-year practice, she has performed thousands of autopsies, identified soldiers from mass graves, studied bodies of victims of serial and domestic murders and accidents, gave testimony in court, and sometimes encountered alternative versions of the case being investigated.

In this book, she shares details of the most heart-rending, mysterious, and simply complex cases she was involved in, and also explains the origins of forensic pathological anatomy and modern methods of forensic examination.
