What can a body reveal before an investigation even begins? Jefferson Bass draws on firsthand experience working on a medical examination staff to explain how injury patterns help identify whether a death scene is natural, accidental, or criminal. This session gives writers practical insight into how medical examiners read the body and what details matter most early in an investigation.
