Unnatural Causes

As the UK's top forensic pathologist, Dr. Richard Shepherd has spent a lifetime uncovering the secrets of the dead. When death is sudden or unexplained, it falls to Shepherd to establish the cause. Each post-mortem is a detective story in its own right - and Shepherd has performed over 23,000 of them. Through his skill, dedication, and insight, Dr. Shepherd solves the puzzle to answer our most pressing question: how did this person die? From serial killers to natural disasters, 'perfect murders' to freak accidents, Shepherd takes nothing for granted in pursuit of truth. His evidence has helped convict killers, free the innocent, and overturn cases, often involving high-profile investigations. A life immersed in death and humanity's darkest moments, Shepherd reflects on the personal toll of his work.
