This is why it absolutely bugs me when people say that children are resilient. THEY ARE NOT!!! The things that happen to them as children often affects them when they are adults. They become tortured and so damaged they don't know how to live. their lives have been stolen from them. EVERYONE THAT ABUSES A CHILD SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOREVER IN THE WORST PRISONS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES MISSERABLE because that's what they have don't to the children they have abused. I often think it's such a shame there is no death penalty for child abusers.
These people are unsung heroes. They work quietly, never ask for praise and deserve alot more recognition

Well said Ally☘️💚
@Johnny’s Bricks no it absolutely does matter how one dies, especially when there's foul play involved. Don't be so insensitive
GOD ALMIGHTY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP NOT THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE IF IT WERENT FOR GOD GIVING THESE PEOPLE LIFE THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING OR MOVE.
I hope Shirley appreciates the huge service her kind and compassionate manner gives to the bereaved loved ones left behind. I’m sure her empathy and the dignity she shows to the deceased in their final journey on earth has a lasting impact on how the family cope and remember such a traumatic time in their lives. It was reassuring to see the effort all the workers involved made to ensure the deceased is treated with dignity and respect.
I just love these documentaries, they’re fascinating. Please post more. Huge condolences to the families involved in this episode ❤️
As soon as they explained the suicide I got a tingle down my spine: I work with many people like terry in a programme that is partly there so they can work in a protected environment and get assistance to stop them reaching the point where the depression or PTSD or Schizophrenia gets too much.
I'd love to see more of these behind the scenes docs. There are so many brilliant people involved - like the female ME technicians, who are so down to earth about dealing with dead folk. Their ladies knickers and wig falling off moment did make me cackle. I admire how they maintain sense of humour but not in a disrespectful way. And the coroner's assistant who also acts as a family liaison. Amazing stuff.
Shirley is such an amazing person! She seems like someone I'd wished I'd know through my life.
The comment " Dad would have preferred to be run over by a Ferrari " by his son was fantastic,
a true show of the love and close understanding between father and son and his fathers character.
It reminds me of an incident many years ago in Manchester where the body, of a rather eccentric, but harmless and likeable Irish man, who used to ride up and down the A6, from Ardwick to Longsight on his bike, with sunglasses on, ringing his bell and wanted to box buses, was released for cremation by the undertakers.................. problem was he was cremated at someone else's funeral earlier, it wasn't noticed till a few days later when everyone was gathered for his wake and thought " Mother of god that's not himself ".
When the family was asked for a comment by the local newspaper, who may have thought they had a compensation scoop and angry comments, the reply by them was something like " Be jasus, he'll be up there laughing his head off at all the commotion he's caused, right to the end. " 😆
that comment was priceless.
So tragic that a man felt like he had to take his own life to rid his demon's due to sexual molestation. The sexual offender to this man should be held responsible in some way. 😠
I love the extensive care & professionalism these Coroner's take in finding all the right answers for the loved ones. 👍💌
I think sometimes when someone commits suicide after being abused, the abuser should have extra charges laid against them
I see what you mean but you have to be careful you don't inadvertently encourage traumatised victims to commit suicide in the belief it will mean the abuser is properly punished...
my best friend killed herself over partly her husband abused I kick up such a fuss it so hard to to proof he has abused her to death it be my word against his, they have a 8 year old son who was 5 when he found her hanging in wardrobe so I have had to love him more than I hate his dad as she not comeing back, if your kniw anyone going though this keep everything 😢
@@clairehall704 @Claire Hall Oh Claire I'm so sorry to hear what happened to your best friend. My heart goes out to you and her family. Such a powerful and wonderful sentence that you said "You had to love her son more than you hate his dad." Brought tears to my eyes. 🙏💘🙏
@@violetmartha916 thank you 😘
@@breannabranson4976 That's why I said ' inadvertently ' , Breanna. Read it again.
That poor family doesn't seem to have much luck with traffic 😕 Everyone is so professional, it's comforting to see!
I feel sorry for the cyclist.
Kudos to these medical and investigative professionals who do the work alot of us wouldn't be able 😭❤
that's what i was about to say,i couldnt possibly imagine having to do this line of work
And they're not even just average people. They're brilliant! They're pretty smart.
Always liked the old classification of "Death By Misadventure".
These unsung heroes make what is a horrible time in everyone's life into a bearable time thru kindness, thoughtfulness and respect. It takes a special soul to do this and not everyone can do it. Thank you to all of the unsung heroes. We always think of the ambulance people and Dr's but not the people behind the scenes. How hard their lives will have been with covid.
The compassion, empathy and respect all of the people involved maintain throughout the process is truly admirable and appreciate the dignity they treat each case with. Shirley is a wonderful person, dealing with grieving relatives is incredibly difficult and it’s great they have not become blasé but understand the impact of the work they do for the people left behind.
Shirley is polite, calm and comforting 👼🏼🙏🕊️❤️
Smiling.... Nice word to say.... How are you doing today lady shirley?
I love Shirley! such an amazing, caring, and diligent person.
She IS really a wonderfully well rounded person!
Big respect to the people that have to look into these deaths 🙏🙏
The narrator of this is Richard Lintern who played Prof. Thomas Chamberlain in Silent Witness. I’m in training to be a forensic pathologist myself so this is really interesting. Shirley is a ⭐️
The care which all who are involved with determining the death of an individual give must be of some comfort to the family of the deceased. A loved one, irrespective of how he/she died, is still afforded a degree of dignity which they may not have experienced in life. Terry's life was a world away from Fernando's yet the minute they enter into the care of the coroner's team they are equal. Both were remembered fondly by their nearest and dearest and it's obvious Terry's sister and Fernando's son were grateful that the team took good care of their 'dearly departed'. An excellent insight behind the scenes.
These ppl are definitely the heroes behind the scenes.. I can't imagine ever wanting this type of profession, it's obviously a hard job but somebody's gotta do it. Mad props to all these folks. They're all so respectful and not just to the family but to the dead as well. Y'all ARE appreciated! 💙
Considering this is my dream job I’m studying towards it’s really nice to hear that there’s a lot of support behind it! 😊
@@skye6074 continue striving toward your dreams. The world of medicine is incredibly fascinating. I was an RN, Trauma Nurse Specialist and lastly, a helicopter flight RN. (We don't use doctors in flight.) IMHO, I've never understood how a person in the medical field could possibly be agnostic or atheist considering the miraculous physiology of the human body.
I wish you great success!
Wow. I wanted to go into the death industry in some way some years ago. This is eye opening. Such respect for the deceased.
I am most impressed with the detailed process involving so many professionals to come to a final decision as to the cause of death of the deceased....
Yep, you're correct about that! 🤗
Watching the mortuary technicians wash a corpse gives me the creeps even though I've washed loads myself as a staff nurse, weird. Staff in hospital often talk to the dead and notify them that they're about to wash them, etc , as if they're still listening, why I don't know, possibly to avoid angering the spirits, or bringing bad karma
i believe it's a respectful thing and the deceased may still be hanging around for a bit.
That’s why you should always wear your best knickers, because you never know when you would kick it
My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Fernandez and Terry.
Go Shirley! What a challenging but amazing job you do 🥰
They are so polite and professiona. It is a huge contrast from how they are portrayed in Hollywood.
This is in the UK, perhaps they are different in America.
Kate as an American I can say Americans can be very rude, especially county employees,it's really guide sad. Good to see kindness and empathy does exist.
I almost went into this line of work but I don’t have the balls! I couldn’t see children or people younger than me. The work that goes in is unreal
"Her majesties coroner"
No, she is a heroe, a queen. Coroners are people who do awesome jobs. Without them, we would know little to nothing. They don't only help to give the dead a voice. They help families to get closure. They help getting murderers off the streets. They actually save lives by giving the dead a voice.
It is not a glamorous job. But it is a job that earns prestige. And it is so interesting to see how they do their jobs.
I studied biology. But the medical part always interested me so much. Death is something that is the marvel of life. Coroners are showing this marvel in a way no one else can.
Fascinating documentary with the insights into the coroners office plus how things are handled from start to finish
Love the lady coroner, walloping around Richmond in a vintage Mercedes with the Concorde frequent flyer sticker in the windscreen… Class! British eccentricity at its finest! Great doc 😊🤘🏻
Agree. Very stylish lady coroner.
@theparanormaldrummer4282. Agree. Very stylish lady coroner.
Well done ladies⭐☘️👍🏻💚 Well done on the restaurant guys, a beautiful sentiment to your dad🙏Rest in peace Terry, your with spirit now💚
"A bit of a rock chick!." I love her!
Love and respect to all you fantastic people!🌹👌You all do a great job!👌👏👏
It’s fascinating how different the coroners and forensic pathology bureaucracies are between the UK and the US.
how do you mean?
lots of Earth Angels. great documentary, wish there were more like it.
This is definitely one of my favorite channels. Thank you for posting
Thank you I use to love real stories , was my most favourite documentary show , then in the past year and half I find there are a lot of repeats , but I still subscribe and every now and then I’ll find something I haven’t seen !
A very interesting insight into this vital service which must be a tremendous help to the families.
❤️ these docs, please keep these coming
But what about the unexplained fire????
What an absolutely brilliant programme.
Fabulous documentary.. Thank you.
My only quibble is that they never explained the fire. Who started it and why?
The deceased may have started it before passing out?
Sad people who suffered childhood abuse kill themselves, truly a mysterious death for the ages.
what ages? More child abuse occurred in the 1800s than ever does today, get an education
I feel like that cyclists must feel awful bless him may all the deceased rest in peace also the staff working behind the scenes are hero's
Then they should ride more carefully instead of speeding by a bus.
@@scratchy1704 The Police said he was not at fault and not speeding. Just bad luck the older gentleman stepped off where he did.
Moltes gràcies! Very good one, thanks so much!
Yes something like a OBE, or something in the queens new years honours list, apart from actors and singers, for a change.
Shane is my sister, it's weird seeing her on here.
This was interesting to watch. Thank you
I want to know the outcome of the deliberately set fire. Who was it. Why. And did they solve it.
Wasn't that the chap who committed suicide.
i believe it was terry himself
How about WHY
Shirley. ❤️Amazing woman.
Very informative
The first woman investigator's voice has such an ASMR vibe to it.😌
no such thing as asmr
What about the fire - who started it and why?
I was wondering the same thing
5 months to determine it was an accident even with cctv! My word.
They've got to tick every single box and get it absolutely bang on. The process involves a huge number of people/departments and tons of paperwork. One case is just a tiny cog in a continually revolving system processing incidents that vary in terms of complication - which in turn has an effect on manpower and resources. That said Fernando's unfortunate demise happened under the jurisdiction of coroner Alison Thompson - who is renowned for her thoroughness, and, given it's Richmond, undoubtedly has the funding to ensure she can get it 100% and not do a rush job. Which is pretty lucky for such a well established family. I got the impression that his son Eduardo was very, er, satisfied with the results of the inquest. I did wonder how that poor cyclist was feeling though ☹️
@Lynne that's a bit harsh!
Have to remember it’s probably one of many cases they have to deal with and there may be other cases that are prioritised due to being time sensitive.
Fascinating
What a lovely kind investigator
No room for errors.
But what made some of these deaths deemed suspicious in the first place? 🤔
Like it so much watching it twice!
If I die in mysterious circumstances, I want these people looking after me :-)
Me too!👍
31:23 someone forgot to blur that reflection
When it's your time, it's your time
When a loved one dies how do we get autopsy results?
The Coroner left me a pamphlet.
Do I just call them up and ask?
I was also extremely grateful to the first responders who attended. The police ensured the safety of the corpse and made sure nobody came in and that my cats didn’t get out. I stayed in another room.
I emailed the coroner's office and asked for a copy of my late brother's post mortem report. They sent it by return and it helped me understand and process his death.
I find this so interesting .
75 cases per week!?!?!??? That's insane! 10 autopsies a day???
That's what I said 75 deaths a friggin week that's a lot ,to many ots ashame ..
Not all of them need an autopsy. Some of them will just need discussion with the coroner.
no all are murders, if you fell down stairs died and wasnt found for a week then you'd need an autopsy...i think 75 is very little i thought it would be in the 3 or 4 hundreds
I like how professional troubles allow a person to keep another incarcerated.
RIP TERRY X
At the beginning, if Shirley would let the others talk, she might find something out.
.. So brave ladies. Dealing with deceased bodies. And got, a sense of humour Laughing..
Lovely people in the coroners office.
That coroners frightfully posh
I am not putting any blame on anyone in the case where the man was knocked down by a cyclist. May the RTA victim be blessed. May the cyclist live a long, healthy life.
I think this about what is allowed in London verses other places, like Cambridge & Oxford.
As a cyclist in Cambridge, UK, I have been told to always slow right down when overtaking in the town, just as one slows down on very narrow roads when overtaking a bus when driving a vehicle in the town.
You have to slow down ENOUGH, to anticipate, a child etc., may have already stepped out into the road before they see you, a cyclist, hurtling towards them in the road. In Cambridge we have loads of narrow roads, such as Kings Parade, Mill Road, Coleridge Rd etc , with huge numbers of potential accidents like this one possible. As a cyclist, or a car with so many side turnings etc. off each narrow road, we ask ourselves, constantly, what do I do if a car suddenly comes out of a side street, slightly up ahead, as I, a cyclist, is overtaking a bus ? You put out your right arm to indicate you intend to overtake the bus, you slow right down, otherwise.. ., if a side turning with car had been where the man walked out..., the cyclist would have hit the side of the car and flown overhead....
What was the speed limit where the cyclist overtook the bus, and how fast was the cyclist moving compared to how fast should the cyclist have slowed down to ? In Cambridge our police give warnings & fines, for cycling too fast for the road conditions. Here, was due care taken for the conditions ? Not the way we are treated in Cambridge.. There would be more than 100 similar accidents like this every day in Cambridge, if cyclist's in Cambridge were seen to have taken due care as this cyclist was seen in London. Slow down
Guard: what u want for your last meal?
Me: all you can eat oriental buffet
14 hours later*
Guard: hey time's up we gotta do the thing
Me: I'm still eating, man! Still eating!
As longtime cyclist, I blame the reckless cyclist for not reducing his lightning speed while passing the bus,
since he couldn't have known if any danger existed in front it.
I agree
Quincy was an hour long.
seemed as someone tried to set fire to the body so as to cover up the death.
75 deaths each week is quite a lot of deaths. That's an average of ten (or so) a day.
also: imagine going to a families death only to die while visiting family. 🙏
Decay often looks awhile lot like it's been burned. Many inexperienced medical examiners have corrected themselves, after assuming bones have burned but have not. It's never easy, that's for _sure._ 🤗 Not saying that's what has happened here, but it does happen irl often.
I wonder if they just don’t give all the information due to criminal investigation. Atm I’m only halfway through.
Maybe the gentleman hit by the bicycle did leave home 5 minutes later, it's just that was 30 years ago.......?
The lady called Anne Marie wh was one of the 3 lady’s working on preparing the body’s used to come to the hairdressers I worked in in hayes middx coldhabour lane she used to tell us funny story’s about her job she still has the same hair 30 years later and she hasn’t aged at all
Does anybody know what year this originally aired?
2012.
The old man should really have waited until the bus went ……… unfortunately.
To think I got here from (literally) by skipping through a vid on this channel about people who love cats, from a vid on this channel about Tupac, which I came from my home page. I dislike cats. I dislike rap. Series like this do catch my interest. Needless to say, YT suggested videos are massively wonky lately.
The suicide case is very sad…😢and the restaurant owners death was tragic…the poor cyclist has to live with that every day now…they all do amazing work to find out the cause of death for the families…they need medals ❤
I'm confused , was it the bycycle rider who was killed or the driver of the car ?
So different than the way these things happen in the US. Police here might decide it was suicide in just a few minutes and on the words of a partner.
Lol Uxbridge is where I livev
It took 5 months to conclude the FILMED incident was an accident? FFS!
People arent sitting around waiting for an RTA to come in, they are very busy & the incident has to be investigated thoroughly & by more than one place.
Awful background music.
What do you think of Nicola Bulley?
From what we've found out from the horses mouth coroners will just give a cause of death if it fits, not neccessarily how the deceased passed.
that's completely untrue, the coroner's job, and jury is to decide how the person died and what/who caused it if possible, the medical evidence can be provided by toxicologists or other specialists not connected to the coroner, someone lied to you and you swallowed it
This one job which is recession proof
Ok the 81 yr old man from Spain i think.was he riding the bicycle or driving the bus,im confused??
Love Shirley :) Every ounce a rock chick !
Iv always been intetested in medicin .and the humain atomany. I do alot of recherche
Nice spelling
Crack. Issues at the morgue
.
No one was to blame? He walked out into a road that he was familiar with and knew that cyclists frequented it. The lesson is, be alert, be careful, roads are dangerous.
Interesting. But please, kill the music--at least when someone is speaking. It's extremely tiring, the constant background music, plus random noises, plus voice...
This is one job which is recession proof
"As the mans death looks suspicious, police have little time to charge him". These voice over guys and editors really do need some elementary grammar skills
