Over the last 22 years in the New York Office of Chief Medical
Examiner, Dr. Schmuter performed thousands of autopsies and
testified in courts hundreds of times. Many of these cases present
interest for a general reader, especially given the attention to
this profession in the last decade in movies, TV shows and fiction
books.
The first chapter of this book is dedicated to the evolution of
the Office of Chief Medical Examiner over the last 20 years, its
transformation to one of the largest and best in the world. This
tale is presented throughout the prism of the author's individual
experiences and closely intertwined with her professional life. It
lays the foundation for the following 25 chapters of challenging
cases from the author's personal experience. Many of them include
captivating stories of homicide investigation with court
testimonies. The truth, however, is that the crime related deaths
cover fewer than 15% of all cases performed by medical examiners.
This book brings up and creates public awareness of many important
issues beyond the traditional topic of homicides, among them drug
intoxication death, child negligence and abuse, sudden death of
young people, misdiagnosis, prophylactics of sudden infant
death.
