I think sometimes when someone commits suicide after being abused, the abuser should have extra charges laid against them

That’s why you should always wear your best knickers, because you never know when you would kick it

[@allygaffney962]

These people are unsung heroes. They work quietly, never ask for praise and deserve alot more recognition

[@D-me-dream-smp]

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.

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'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.

I just love these documentaries, they’re fascinating. Please post more. Huge condolences to the families involved in this episode ❤️

Kudos to these medical and investigative professionals who do the work alot of us wouldn't be able 😭❤

[@Korschtal]

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.

Shane is my sister, it's weird seeing her on here.

[@susanrobinson-browning4687]

Shirley is such an amazing person! She seems like someone I'd wished I'd know through my life.

[@lindalewis5066]

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. 😠

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 😊🤘🏻

[@bluelagoonuk8923]

Big respect to the people that have to look into these deaths 🙏🙏

[@ducati7847]

The comment " Dad would have preferred to be run over by a Ferrari " by his son was fantastic,

[@nicolathomson5774]

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.

[@shirleya3615]

Shirley is polite, calm and comforting 👼🏼🙏🕊️❤️

[@johnzeszut3170]

Always liked the old classification of "Death By Misadventure".

[@suzyarambula1103]

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! 💙

[@loretta_3843]

That poor family doesn't seem to have much luck with traffic 😕 Everyone is so professional, it's comforting to see!
