Blood Has A Voice - Stories From The Autopsy Table (Paperback): Hestelle van Staden Blood Has A Voice - Stories From The Autopsy Table (Paperback)
Hestelle van Staden; Foreword by Gerard Labuschagne

Foreword by topselling author, Gerard Labuschagne.

A criminal's fate is often sealed by what is found on the autopsy table and Dr Hestelle van Staden has been crucial in the conviction of numerous criminals. As one of South Africa’s leading forensic pathologists, she has conducted over 7 000 autopsies. She has seen the worst South Africa has to offer and has been a voice to numerous murder victims.

In Blood Has a Voice, she walks us through nine of her most compelling cases, cases that stand out from among the many autopsies she has conducted. There is the tragic story of baby Letitia Meyer, whose mother alleged she fell from her pram; the unexplained death of a young mother during labour; and the case of the musician Lucky Dube, who was shot and killed . . .

Blood Has a Voice gives a rare glimpse into the investigation of death and the quiet heroism behind the unsung work of forensic pathologists.

Die forensiese patoloog, Hestelle van Staden sien byna daagliks die skadukant van die mens. Sy het al meer as 7000 outopsies behartig waarvan die meerderheid mense aan onnatuurlike oorsake oorlede is. In hierdie boek werp sy lig op nege lykskouings.

Daar is die tragiese storie van baba Letitia Meyer wie se ma volgehou het sy het bloot uit 'n stootwaentjie geval . . . die moord op die bekende musikant Lucky Dube en die outopsie van 'n jong swanger vrou wie se dood medici laat kopkrap het.

Outopsie bied 'n blik op die lewe van 'n forensiese patoloog in SuidAfrika en die uitdagings wat daarmee gepaard gaan.

'Since I was a child, I've been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 'The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I've written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body.' Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. This is the story of how Jackie Dent's grandparents-Ruby and Julie-gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation - all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.

When eighteen-year-old Gloria Summers dies unexpectedly after undergoing an elective tubal ligation at Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital, the mortality review committee can't determine what went wrong. But three more unexplained deaths of young women sends the hospital administration reeling. Desperate measures ensue, and surgical privileges are suspended.

The administration hires renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cole Buchanan to investigate these suspicious deaths. After reviewing the cases and performing additional autopsies, Buchanan determines that the deaths were murders, but he is stymied by the perpetrator's method. Detroit Police Department investigator Detective Joe Braun joins Buchanan in the murder probe; this pairing of a forensic specialist with a seasoned murder investigator provides unique insight into the case.

Several possible suspects come to the forefront as the investigation focuses on the victims' backgrounds. Could the suspicious deaths be tied to the women's Catholic religion? Or is someone on the hospital staff to blame for the murders? Will Buchanan and Braun be able to unravel the mystery before more women die needlessly after surgery? As the investigation continues, friends become enemies, one involved physician commits suicide, and an old romance is rekindled within the police department.
