Forensic Pathologist On What's Most Likely To Kill You | Minutes With | @LADbible

Catch ""The Truth About My Murder"" Wednesday's at 10pm on @cbs_reality Revered forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd, hosts ‘The Truth About My Murder’, which airs Wednesday's at 10pm, on CBS Reality. This eye-opening, revelatory series, uncovers the truth of what really happened in some of the most intriguing homicides in recent years, from the UK and USA

I’m not sure why but it’s so comforting knowing this intelligent and compassionate man takes care of so many passed away loved ones. It’s clear he knows the weight and importance of his work while managing to have respect for the deceased and their families

My jaw dropped when he said he was 70, appears to be a lot younger than that

This man is young in looks, in spirit , in energy , even the voice. When he said he is 70 i was happy that is possible to have such vitality and really to make age not an issue anymore.

I found when my mother had to have a post mortem, the coroner's office were so compassionate and kind to me when reporting the results over the phone. The explanation was direct and precise, and you could tell it was truthful. I found it very comforting to know exactly what happened and why. It gave the whole family a sense of peace

Dr. Richard Shepherd is not just a forensic pathologist, he is THE forensic pathologist! I have a friend who is studying forensic pathology and he said they ALL look up to him and think him as a god in forensic pathology! I cannot get enough of listening to him!

He is a fascinating and very articulate professional. When he talks you listen with your full attention. Thanks Richard.

As we used to say in astonishment in the old days "What a bloke!" And he expresses himself so clearly and logically. I hung on his every word.

I could listen to this man for hours. His intelligence, compassion & love for his craft is evident. He's fascinating!

I find this man very insightful. Being a forensic pathologist is an interesting career choice. The way he speaks it’s as if he’s giving us a full-length lecture that we should all pay attention to. The information he offers is critical and concise.

I used to read auto safety engineering studies, including crash tests. Thanks for these additional details. When Diana died, I saw a picture from above the crash scene, and I immediately guessed it was a survivable crash and that she hadn't been wearing her seat belt. The front of the car was crushed, but the passenger compartment was intact. In order to pass government crash tests, cars must be designed for the passenger who is wearing a seat belt to survive an accident like this. It's frustrating for engineers who design these cars when people die because they weren't wearing seat belts, but fortunately we now have laws requiring that, and air bags for people who aren't wearing them. Seat belts cut the death rate of about 50,000 per year in half. Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at Any Speed has a good discussion of this.

You can see his compassion in his eyes and hear it in his voice. It seems like he was born to do this very unique and difficult job.

My 41 year old daughter died very suddenly a few months ago after being sick for less than a week. She had a positive Covid test, but her symptoms were atypical for Covid. She was taken to the ER by ambulance, had a cardiac arrest there, was intubated and never regained consciousness. When her heart stopped again 4 hours later, doctors could not restart it. We asked for an autopsy, but were told the hospital could not find a doctor to do one, so we will never know what killed Bekah. We will never have closure, which adds anger to our grief.

This guy is incredible. I’m thankful for amazing professionals like him. Thanks for posting

People often forget the most important phases of grief: closure. It's a powerful feeling, and this man's work is based on this. Such an amazing job, such an amazing man!

this man is 70 years young!! I wish people like him never age and retire though - his passion, experience, expertise, his wisdom about life and death can teach us all a lot regarding attitude to life and death - im not going to be lazy and not click my seatbelt in when in the back of a taxi again

Thank you for highlighting the seat belt! This was known at the time. But was always ignored by the media. Everytime Di is mentioned it should be with the disclaimer that she wasn't wearing her seat belt.

Recently finished his audiobook, Unnatural Causes, performed by the man himself. His aptitude to his craft is a compliment to his profession and the humanity, respect and unwavering commitment to the unbiased truth regarding the deceased is highly informational and illuminating. He is a true leader within his field, personifying not just the science of his work, but the morality which gives rise to it.

I have the great privilege of working as the administrator for a team of forensic pathologists and they have the same general qualities we see here - keen intelligence, good humour, compassion and an unwavering commitment or solving the mystery of each individual death that comes before them. I never tire of listening to them talk.

I absolutely adore Dr Shepherd, he’s a very compassionate, sympathetic and respectable man.
