For this special bonus episode, I’m joined by Dr Richard Shepherd, one of Britain’s most respected forensic pathologists. Having conducted more than 23,000 post-mortem examinations, Dr Shepherd has worked on some of the most significant criminal investigations and disasters of modern times. In this interview, he shares remarkable insights into forensic pathology, discusses the realities of investigating suspicious deaths, and reflects on the cases that have stayed with him throughout his extraordinary career. I was fascinated by this conversation and I know that you will be too. And to hear more from Dr Shepherd, you can catch him on tour later this autumn – details below – and I will be back with my next story as usual on Tuesday, so please do join me then.
