The Seven Ages of Death

In The Seven Ages of Death, Dr Richard Shepherd draws on a lifetime spent close to the dead to turn autopsy findings into human stories. Through twenty-four of his most intriguing and never-before-told cases, he explores how deaths at every stage of life—old age to infancy—can teach us about development, vulnerability and mortality. Each chapter reads like a medical detective story: from misadventure and illness to deliberate harm, the book shows how careful pathology uncovers not only causes of death but clues about how someone lived.

Unnatural Causes

Unnatural Causes introduces readers to the forensic pathologist in action. Shepherd has carried out over 23,000 autopsies and participated in some of the most high-profile inquiries of recent decades. This book covers dramatic, unsettling and career-defining investigations—from serial killers and ‘perfect murders’ to disasters and mistaken assumptions—illustrating how forensic evidence can convict the guilty, exonerate the innocent, and overturn accepted narratives.
