Like many, Robert has thrilled to the crusading adventures of TV coroner Wojeck and Quincy, M.E., so he takes up the challenge. But soon he is to find just how far these TV programs are from the real world of a community coroner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the following twenty-three years, Robert will investigate and report on more than 600 sudden, unexpected deaths in his community and in the surrounding ocean, lakes, forests, and mountains. In each case, he must establish not only who has died but when, where, how, and why. As a member of the community himself, he often finds himself personally connected with those who have died. Many of the deaths are natural, of course, but a surprising number are exceptional due to complicated, startling, unforeseen, and sometimes even astonishing circumstances and findings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are the stories of more than a hundred of these remarkable, often horrifying events. \u003cbr\u003eThey happen in homes, at work sites, during recreation, or while travelling in boats, planes, or on roads. Some of the deaths prove controversial and Dr. Crossland participates in inquests that lead to changes in policies or procedures that reduce the risk of further deaths ... or sometimes, heartbreakingly, make no difference at all. Sudden death is always disturbing and in vivid, pithy, engaging anecdotes based on his case files and notes, Dr. Crossland shares with readers, the who, when, where, how, and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52447374836019,"sku":"9781039168336","price":39.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QjdXREg5cEhQb21HRWIxdUZJWE13dz09.webp?v=1759010342","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/death-calls-a-coroners-memoir-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
