My second cousin had situs inversus totalis. Sadly she died for want of a heart transplant. As you can imagine, there wasn’t a reversed heart to transplant. She died before she was an adult. Sweet darling girl.
She must have had a congenital heart defect then as most people with it can live a normal life. Many have every single organ reversed and live fine which is what the totalis bit means.
Funeral home worker here- Asked a funeral director the most interesting cause of death. She said she got one from the ME office. They didn’t know the order of events, but it ended up being 1) He was on a lot of street drugs. A lot. 2) he stumbled as he tried to go into the hot tub, falling and hitting his head, knocking him unconscious. 3) He fell into the hot tub, where he ended up drowning.
A tiny note on cows andceating wire-some cheap Chinese floating lantern are made with wire. A good one is made only with balsa wood and paper. These lantern wires then fall into hay fields or alfalfa fields and can be eaten by the animals as they get baled up. So if you light these lanterns please get the wooden ones. They will decay back into the soil
My mother, who suffered with severe Alzheimer’s and needed round the clock care, swallowed an entire latex examination glove. No idea how she got it down whole but she did and died shortly afterwards. I smelt a rat and insisted on a post mortem. Total cover up. Police didn’t want to know, coroner said it was nothing to do with her death, solicitors would take it on. There were 18 other people in that home and she was in there for 24 hour care for this very reason as I had carer breakdown. I just couldn’t be there all day and night. She only slept in naps of maybe ten minutes to half an hour throughout the day and night and it nearly finished me off with that and the poo spreading.
I used to love toffee popcorn, but then I had a dental clearance & a while after that, I had a brush with death that required a tracheotomy & I’ve had worsening dysphagia ever since. I’ve tried to have popcorn a couple of times, but it just sticks in my throat now. I don’t try any more, LOL. 😅
I was super lucky because maybe 10 years ago I was able to see Dr Bass. He came to a local bookstore and gave a talk. He was so funny and so interesting! And what made it even funnier was that he brought visual aids. He did partner with another author and together they created a pseudonym call Jefferson Bass and they wrote several fiction novels together.
The story of the 16 y.o. whose parents bought him a brand new car is tragic. However...our next door neighbors bought their 16 y.o. son - in 1990 - a very expensive new car ,the price of which was almost the current, for the time, value of their 2-story brick house. Our jaws hit the concrete when we saw the car. The parents said that they bought him this new car (think Jaguar) because he would be very careful with it. They hadn't paid their mortgage off yet and had one car payment, but they paid for this car in full the day they bought it (about $40,000). The kid was blown away when he saw his new sports car and asked if he could take it out for a drive. They handed him the keys, he got in, turned the ignition, and away he went. The parents kissed each other, so proud that they had made such a great choice. He wouldn't be prone to reckless driving and would be a safe driver. We went inside our home and said that we had a really REALLY bad feeling, especially when he'd pulled out of the driveway and floored it. It was a 20 mph zone in the neighborhood due to all of the children here. He had been going roughly twice the speed limit. Then, a phone call to our neighbors came a bit later: (paraphrased): Uummm, mom? Yes, sweetie? Umm, guess what? What is it, darling? Some people wanna talk to you and dad. Could you come to General Hospital...ummm, now? They were met in the hospital lobby by police, one of whom said that their son would be okay. He was in the ICU for observation due to a head injury. He was wearing his seat belt, and he'd probably be discharged the next day. His friends were not as lucky. Friends?! They were life flighted to the nearest Level One Trauma Facility. They were not wearing seat belts. There were going to be criminal charges against their son, and the other families were going to sue for civil damages. Their kids were barely clinging to life. Their son drove to both of his best friends's houses. They got into the car and the friends wanted to see how fast the car could go. Onto a remote part of the expressway they went, where traffic - and cops - were sparse. He'd had the car at about 85 to 90 mph when he lost control around a curve in the road. The car flipped over and over. The friends were ejected from the car and sustained "grave injuries." Grave condition is what it sounds like. It is worse than critical condition. One friend died shortly after arriving at the Trauma hospital. The other was a quadriplegic with severe brain damage. All of the therapy in the world would make little difference in the quality of his life. The ED physician entered the lobby. He explained to our neighbors that their son sustained a hairline skull fracture, probably when the roof of the car was bashed in. They just wanted to place him under a 23-hour observation to ensure that bleeding and/or swelling of his brain could be recognized early and interventions could be initiated there. He doubted that would happen. He asked his parents if he'd stolen the car from them, given that it was a brand new Jag. He said their kid kept insisting that the car was his. My neighbors bought him a used, but nice sedan. They were in fact sued by the parents of the two teenage passengers. They didn't talk to any of us neighbors anymore. The boy's mother drank herself literally to death. Her liver failed and her brain was pickled. She died from a massive stroke in less than 5 years. Her husband sold their house and moved to another state. He left his son behind to fend for himself. Idk what became of the criminal charges or the two lawsuits. I have no idea where their son is. NEVER give a 16-year-old kid with a new driver's license a brand new car of any kind, and certainly NOT a sports car!! I wonder if the boy is still alive and if so who cares for him? Did the father ever get married again? He'd be well into his 70s now. The "boy" would be about 49 😅 to 50 years old by now, in 2024. 😪🥹😢😭😫
6:40 - this is why my mom gave me her car to drive (a slow ass Escort, manual at least) on a learner's permit (G1 in Canada) - she knew I would drive it according to the letter so cops don't pull me over. It worked.
All these stories are imagined works of fiction. How can I tell? No sandwiches mentioned. If Hollywood has taught me anything, a coroner is always eating a big, probably messy, sandwich while he works, especially if the cop protagonist is coming in to ask questions./
As a pathologist its true. We are always snacking. but for us its so natural, and normal, we often dont even think about it. Why just a few hours ago, i went to grab my bone saw, and there was a sandwich in my hand already!
I have read The Body Farm so many times, I got giddy when I heard the name Bill Bass. Super interesting book. There are also several short documentaries about it. Highly recommend it!
he had to have decomped not long after he was exposed to air (which would definitely be a contributing factor in Dr Bass's work). Faces of the Forgotten has a couple of videos about bodies found in similar condition, and there's an unnamed lady who was found in one of those hermetically sealed coffins by people digging up a garden.
12:40 got a little emotional when they were able to catch the cancer in her sister earlier. They werent able to save their mom but she saved her little sister
3:51 I feel so fucking horrible for the guy who choked like that, especially since he could have been saved if the person he bought the extra ticket for actually came to the theater with him
The term “Hardware Disease” refers to livestock ingesting metal objects, that can include screws, nails, bits of barbed wire, etc. It is actually a term that is very old, I first heard it in a basic Animal Science class in 1973. They showed us examples from cattle, etc.
I notice you misread some words, such as misshapen. It’s mis-shape-en, not mis-happen. You should double check before you read. Having said that, I so appreciate a real human voice and will subscribe.

I've situs inversus to never even to MAyo though didn't find out until I was 42😊

Love Dr. Bass and all his books! So funny his wife was cool about his "experiments" in the pots and pans in their kitchen!

I'm actually donating my body to the body farm so people can further study the way the body breaks down in different environments
Pre-emptive thanks for being able to help us understand decomp better, while you're still here.
Dr. Bill Bass is amazing! He has several books about his adventures and they’re all amazing
Due to my anemia I can't be an organ donor, but I've had life long hip dysplasia so far so I'm donating my body.
Because of the doctor in the first story countless murders have been solved because of the research done on decomposition

If I die choked by movie theater popcorn, be aware I died as a happy woman.
Well, if neither you got up to attract attention, nor anybody else could notice you, I guess the movie was fire 🔥

So a body farm was started because grave robbers disturbed a civil war soldiers grave and he did not decompose? Wild!

At one point, I lived near Shy’s Hill and knew about the grave robbery. Caused quite a stir. Who would open up a grave in persuit of valuable relics.
I actually knew of the first one!
the mirrored organ condition is one of my favorite bodily anomalies.
The bb heart shock was on purpose! 😂
FYI when you were describing the liver you mispronounced "misshapen." You pronounced it as "miss happen" when it was actually "miss shapen"
Also petechiae - it’s pronounced like pet-ee-key-eye
#7. The heart isn’t on your right or left. It’s in the centre under your sternum normally.
Slightly to the left actually.
@@richardvoogd705 Not by much though.
Mine slightly on the right along with e erything else
To the left.
Damn nice definitely dodged a bullet there I swear I posted something similar on my channel wonder if it's the same person

Ahh yes the body farm at UT
They have a lot more land now they also have a few controlled tubes in the river that they put bodies in
