0:00.0	Body Facts with Joseph Scott Moore.
0:05.7	When you're a death investigator, particularly a medical legal death investigator,
0:11.6	you wind up going to places that other people don't have the opportunity to go to.
0:17.5	You see things that, you know, the common folk out there really don't
0:23.6	get an appreciation for it. And let me give you an example. I've had a number of cases over
