Natalie-Anne died suddenly at the tragically young age of 34. But what doctors have learnt from her death could prevent the deaths of so many other people, including her bereaved loved ones. 📺 Cause of Death, Wednesday 9pm

Pictured we have our CRY Cardiology fellows who came to observe dissection and see the daily activities in the CRY CCP laboratory.

Forensic Pathologist Zubair Razak from Malaysia is training in the CRY CCP lab with us for a year, and we have BSc students Farwa and Oviyaa observing as part of their BSc thesis work.

Modes of death are being used instead of causes of death. This may mean that underlying heritable cardiac conditions are missed and family screening is not performed. Autopsy is essential where only a mode can be identified. doi.org/10.1177/205427… The Royal Society of Medicine RC of Pathologists @AiccUk
