Text the Show or Leave a VoicemailThis is episode 144 and we're going to talk about autopsies.  Don't worry I'm not going to take it too far; you can go ahead and keep eating your breakfast.  But I'm going to share with you the my recent visit to observe an autopsy and also my conversation with the local Chief Death Investigator.  First I made a recording of my thoughts as I drove to visit the coroner's office to observe an autopsy.  Then I recorded my reaction immediately after experiencing my first autopsy.  Finally, we'll sit down with Chief Death Investigator Kelsie Gwartney, who will share how she got into the business of doing autopsies and what a police officer should know, that I didn't know, before you go observe an autopsy for the first time.Music is by National SweetheartSpecial Thanks to Shaun Hachinsky from Episode 033Hey Chaplain Podcast Episode 144Tags:Chaplains, Autopsy, Bodies, Death, Detectives, Forensics, Investigations, Science, Kansas City, Topeka, Kansas, ArizonaSupport the showThanks for Listening!  And, as always, pray for peace in our city.Subscribe/Follow here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-chaplain/id1570155168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CGK9A3BmbFEUEnx3fYZOYEmail us at: [email protected] can help keep the show ad-free by buying me a virtual coffee!https://www.buymeacoffee.com/heychaplain
