Forensic pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd brings his stage show 'Time of Death - More Unnatural Causes' to the Northcott Theatre.
Dr Richard Shepherd is back at the Northcott Theatre on Friday 6 November, bringing his forensic investigation tour to Exeter. He's a leading forensic pathologist, and this show, Time of Death - More Unnatural Causes, follows on from his tours in 2021 and 2022.
To give you a sense of the scale he works at, Shepherd has more than 23,000 autopsies to his name. He's investigated some of the world's most high-profile cases, from the Hungerford Massacre to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. If you've come across his name before, it's likely through that kind of work.
That said, the show isn't a lecture on forensic pathology. Shepherd describes it as a deeply personal account of how a career spent in the darkest corners of humanity has shaped his view on life. He takes the audience inside the investigation of sudden and suspicious death, and the minutes between life and death. It's less about the technical side of the job and more about what it's like to spend a lifetime working with it.
