Autopsy: The Last Hours of

I've always had an interest in autopsies and knowing what was the ultimate causes of death so naturally I was interested in this show. And although the narrator does a great job and the re-enactment actor is are decent the alleged doctor is horrible. He literally states the obvious and tells us exactly what we already know. No new information or insight into these cases. I would have rated this higher if he wasn't on the show.

I was laughing throughout the whole thing! The man was 82 years old!!! Where is the mystery? This is not forensics....this is desperation digging for a show. He lived hard...smoked,drank,etc. And lived to the age of 82. Bravo for him! There is no mystery how he died. The mystery is how he lived that long.

The doctor is usually right on; even if the cause of death is obvious. He explains the circumstances and fills in the small details that one would want to know. The photos of the actual reports are interesting to look at when pausing the show. I find the insights to a person's last days/minutes very interesting.

This program is interesting, but you can't believe most of what this "doctor" says. He does get A LOT of medications wrong. For instance, he states that Brittany Murphy was on topiramate, which is a strong medication for someone with seizures, but she's not epileptic!!! Yeah, but it is also used to treat migraine headaches. And is that man said that a benzo is used to treat depression one more time, I'm going to hunt him down. The funniest though is when they are giving someone rescue breathes using a bag and have the mask on them upside down. So, it's decent entertainment, but I can't believe this guy is a real doctor (he is, I looked it up). Guess it's a good thing he only works on dead people.
