We've all seen an episode of CSI or a similar series: investigators who find clues in record time to find the culprit in all kinds of murder cases, each one more bizarre. Among all of them, an essential figure: that of the forensic doctor, who will provide the information that he wants the biological remains found at the crime scene to tell. A job that has little to do with how it is represented on television, but that is in charge of analyzing corpses and investigating the causes of their deaths.
If anyone has ever seen that legendary show A Thousand Ways to Die, they know that you can die from anything stupid. That is what the tiktokers responsible for the Troppo podcast referred to, who, in an interview with a psychiatrist and forensic doctor about crimes and curiosities about the world of investigation, wanted to know what had been the dumbest death they had had the opportunity to witness, and who confirmed with his answer that really, you can die at the least expected moment.
The coroner, who began in her profession because of her great fondness for crimes, spoke openly about the details of the work she was doing; in addition to revealing some curiosities, such as precisely the dumbest death she had ever witnessed. The truth is, the deceased was very unlucky.
"A man who had a small heart attack, lost consciousness and fell into a puddle. He drowned," says the coroner, in a video that already has more than 1.2 million views.
The coroner also shared some other very interesting details, such as that child autopsies were the worst part of being a coroner, that the most common cause of murder in Spain is bullets and stabbings; or that each human being is "good" or "bad" according to the circumstances of his life and not because of his nature, despite the atrocities he has seen on the autopsy table.
An interview that the followers of the podcast liked a lot, who try to bring guests with professions that are more or less unknown or "hidden" from the general public; who applaud the fact that a topic such as death or the work of forensic doctors is treated so naturally. Also the sincerity of this specialist regarding her work and how she hated dealing with "alive" patients, something that some health workers would have to consider today.
