When a human body is discovered in the United States, there is a person who takes on the role of eyes and ears of the dead: the death investigator.
There is a whole chain of officials from the police, to forensic pathologists, to families and loved ones that depend on these specialists to unlock stories the dead can no longer tell.
No one knows this role like Joseph Scott Morgan.
In this episode, host Kathryn Fox and Joseph peel back the layers of this hidden world: the science, the secrets, and the sacrifices of those who witness the grim reality of death day in and day out.
