«The living always learn from the dead, starting from the earliest knowledge in human anatomy to today's forensic medicine and pathology».
Klaus Püschel, a forensic expert with 40 years of experience, is convinced that the dead not only teach the living... but also save them. Thus, thanks to the autopsies of the dead, forensic experts solve crimes and develop more effective treatment methods for diseases.

• How can the place of death be determined from the corpse?
• What signs can distinguish suicide from homicide?
• How does an autopsy help solve cases from decades ago?
• How can forensic medicine save an innocent person from judicial error?
