True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist
From the number-one bestselling author of The Cause of Death comes a book about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and often tragic ways humans meet their end.A dead body without a trace of trauma; alien parasites; worms of the brain; crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders ...
