Autopsy: The Last Hours of

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.

Overall, 'Autopsy: The Last Hours Of...' is a must-watch for fans of forensic science and documentary storytelling. It's simultaneously horrifying, enlightening, and fascinating, a series that demonstrates just how much we can learn from the final hours of extraordinary lives.

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 enjoyed the info on the life and death of Doris Day, but so much of her good health was erroneously based on her being close to a Blue Zone. She lived six hours away from the closest Blue Zone (Loma Linda, CA). I live close to Doris and got very sick at the same time she did with the same symptoms. The only difference was her age. At 97 it was too much for her body to survive. I like this show in general. I usually already know the reported cause of death and don't expect Dr. Hunter to be Lt. Columbo, but it's always interesting to see how one's death was affected by the other aspects of his/her life.

I watched this hoping to find something that would make me fall asleep, instead I was super annoyed with the nonsense. This so called 'expert' doctor who seems to act as if he knows everything must be working for tmz or enquirer or some tabloid! The junk he cites is complete BS and if I were any of the family members of the people he is speaking about- I'd sue him for slander. For example- he goes off on several medications-keflex (antibiotic) as a 'SUPER STRONG DRUG' (it is a really good bacterial antibiotic); hydrocodone (opiate) a 'SUPER STRONG HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!' Goes on to compare to medical heroine- that is reaching A LOT! (Never shows the prescription or what amount is in the person's system. In one case, he cites all these meds-and states klonopin was in her system- 'this is an epileptic drug and she didn't have this!' Yea- never says also used for anxiety or sleep. He just goes on and on in hype and BS. It is much easier than most would think to get a copy of an autopsy report- so the fact that this doc happens to have the so called report doesn't mean anything. He goes on an on citing his opinions that they all took all these drugs and why they died- his opinion- which he is entitled to but to spout off the way he does- rhetoric. Never once does he say any of these meds could have caused an anaphylaxis reaction in these people and that could be why they died. 👎🏼👎🏼
