The Silence of the Dead. How Not to Let Them Take Their Secrets to the Grave

The autopsy room is not a place for sorrow — it is a place of life, work, and communication between forensic experts, judges, investigators, and forensic scientists. This book is not just an entertaining read; its author, forensic expert Philippe Boxso, has gathered real astonishing cases from his medical practice that will make you laugh, cry, and leave you in shock. "It is important for me to find traces and evidence — all those elements that allow us to give a voice to the dead one last time, and hear what they need to tell us," writes the author. Philippe Boxso is a forensic expert with over 30 years of experience, describing his everyday work in the morgue, discussing mysterious disappearances of corpses, and shocking methods of hiding murders. Here you will learn about: - a suicide involving two firearms; - a child who died due to a lack of parental attention; - the bodies of a mother and her young son found in a freezer; - a series of ridiculous deaths among drug addicts due to petty theft.
