I’m a police officer in Houston, TX. Although I’m not a detective, crime scene tech, or DI, I resonate with a lot of his same experiences. Over the span of the past 12 years, I’ve seen so much death, but I can still remember each face and scenario. I’ve responded to homicides, suicides, decapitations, auto fatalities etc. The worst one to me, wasn’t gorey like the other scenes I’ve been to, but it was because I saw him take his last breath. On Easter Day a few years ago, two twin brothers got into an argument. One of the brothers stabbed the other with a kitchen knife (18 times I believe). My district (beat) partner and I arrived before EMS. My partner detained the suspect and I made contact with the victim. He was begging for help, but was stabbed from his thighs all the way up his torso. There were too many wounds for me to stop the bleeding. I saw him take his last breath in front of me. It was very surreal to me knowing I was the last person and face he saw before he died, and I couldn’t do anything for him.

My wife worked in social services in our county and every month, they had a meeting called a pediatric death review. Any death in the county for anyone under 18 years of age gets reviewed, death by death. Some of them would be simple...kid died of leukemia or died in a car accident. Other times she'd have to listen to how a 1-year old was beaten to death by an iron skillet. After doing it for so many years, she had to quit. She'd come home in tears, an absolute wreck.

That opening story surprised me because it’s exactly what happened to my grandmother. My grandfather had passed away the previous year and she missed him terribly. When we’d visit we could smell something bad and we thought she had a rotten tooth. Long story short she had breast cancer but didn’t want to get treated because she wanted to be with grandad. When the coroner was examining her you could see her rib cage completely exposed where the cancer had eaten through. It was the stuff of horror films. We were so upset for her and thinking how much pain she must have been in as she rotted. She didn’t complain once. Just awful. RIP.

You come accross in such a respectful way and a highest level of empathy to all those people you examined... Massive respect from me and I'm sure all the folks you had physical contact with.. ❤

[@nora768]

I relate so much to his story. The first death I ever experienced during nursing has never left me and that is 40 years now. I remember his face his name everything about him. It just doesn’t go away.

[@Mharthcock79]

Me too. I’m 45, I started nursing when I was 19 years old.

I worked as a transcriptionist in a VA morgue and later a county morgue and enjoyed the science and the atmosphere of working together in an efficient manner. I have always been deeply moved by the extreme respect that the personnel show while treating people who have passed.

What an amazing, lovely man. I've seen him talk on KZbin eloquently and informative but I had no idea he was *just so* empathetic, kind and compassionate.

[@terryseufert5011]

Thanks!

[@dcslye8330]

What a beautiful man. He has seen horrors we cannot imagine and yet, he has not lost his empathy and compassion.

[@MegaSilverbirch]

“Great people have books written about them”. I hope one day I can read a biography of Joseph, what an extraordinarily brave, compassionate and thoughtful man. I hope his burdens become easier to bear ❤

[@lauren_WI]

💯 great comment 👏

[@tai-leekennedy3886]

He does have a book he’s written about his story “Blood Beneath My Feet “

[@BessieMann]

You can see the sadness in his eyes and hear it in his voice. What empathy he has. Bless him for what he does

[@Eurocatbaby]

Joseph Scott Morgan has such an easy way of telling a story that makes you see what is happening but also shows the humanity of each person that have passed. The care and kindness he has shown each person he has investigated. What a great teacher to pass this on how they should treat each person they come across.

[@TheVinylking]

There is so much sadness in this world.

[@1111anim]

What a great speaker, it's amazing that you can see such horrific things so often and still have so much love and empathy.

[@LadyDeath6666]

Wow what a wonderful, caring man. You can see the overwhelming empathy in his eyes. People like that are a rare gem, deep thinking, feeling too much of everything, and usually trauma survivors. I’m so sorry about your son Joseph, that part made me cry.

[@billydoyle6919]

The most sane man I've listened to in a while.

[@liśśa_BD]

Gosh what a beautiful compassionate man. Sending you love and prayer Sir. 🙏🏼

[@coffee_and_cacti2798]

All I want to do Is give this man a hug and thank him for his service. I couldn’t be happier for him that he’s teaching and sharing his wisdom now while having the opportunity to heal❤️😭

[@caribeads9772]

This man’s story was RIVETING. “I would tell myself this is awful but it’s not Bruce.” I don’t think I’ll ever forget that statement, I can’t imagine what he went through and how he got through it

[@debrarozich2456]

Such a kind and gracious man. Thank you for sharing.

[@nicolabradshaw280]

What a lovely man he's making me cry just listening to him talk

[@LillyJacob-l6r]

Thank you for sharing this, Joseph. Even the telling had a cost to him, I appreciate learning from his story. I suspect it was complex PTSD he suffered in adulthood, with his childhood trauma being unconsciously re-experienced also during these newer events so far more overwhelming. But I am reassured that such compassion exists in those settings.

[@missygermaine]

all these unsung heros sacrficed their mental health to bring justice and comfort to many many many families. i wish these comments can show them our appreciation for them. what a brave, strong person to take on this journey.

[@yvonnebuchanan5027]

If I could have reached through my screen and given him a hug I would have. I was riveted to every word. Best one of these guests by far. What a genuinely amazing guy, honest, stripped bare, no fluff just reality of death. A human being dealing with the ruins of the inhumane. Well done sir.

[@AlC-k2j]

Sacred duty. This sums up everything this fine man has done for over 7000 human beings and their families. May he always know the respect and gratitude of so many that he treated with respect and dignity. Bless this fine and decent man.

[@darrenturner8035]

This is one of the most riveting interviews I’ve heard in a long time, such an empathetic man and the consummate professional. Thank you Joseph for your service to the wider community. I am also very sorry for your loss. Well done to the interviewer for allowing Joseph to speak unhindered.

[@Keira-oj1id]

Thank you for your selfless contribution to the collective
