Fascinating insights into the work of forensic investigators will be revealed at a talk at the Assembly Hall with Dr Richard Shepherd on 19th October.

His event "Unnatural Causes - Time of Death" starts at 7.30pm.

Listen to Dr Richard Shepherd here:

Following his acclaimed 2021 and 2022 tours, Dr Shepherd brings audiences an evening exploring the mysteries of life, death, and many minutes in between.

In the realm of forensic pathology time is crucial and holds the key to understanding the truth behind accidents, murders and unexplained deaths - whether it's the exact moment of death needed to help solve a crime, or how long it would take to die or an understanding of what happens in the minutes, days and weeks after death. All these different times help interpret the truths a body can tell.  Providing you ask the right questions. 

Dr Shepherd has worked on the cases that defined our times: The Spy in the Bag (Gareth Williams), the Hungerford Massacre, the sinking of the Marchioness, Joy Gardner, the Princess Diana Inquiry, 9/11 terrorist attack, Jo Cox MP, London Bombings, Russian assassination squads and more.

From facing serial killers to uncovering the truth behind freak accidents, his work has brought justice to many, overturned unsafe convictions and has shed light into humanity's darkest corners.

Dr Shepherd also promises a deeply personal insight of a man who has spent decades walking the line between life and death.
