A Forensic Pathologist on Death Investigations in NYC
The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 12, 2014
Dr. Judy Melinek tells us about her work as a New York City forensic pathologist and the fascinating world of death investigation. She takes us behind the police tape of some of the most harrowing deaths in the city, including a firsthand account of the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax bio-terrorism attack, and the disastrous crash of American Airlines flight 587. Her new book, Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner is about her experiences.
