Forensic pathologist Dr Michael Baden discusses cases of unnatural or suspicious deaths that he has helped solve by examining the dead.

An unidentified torso; maggots in a corpse; unidentified body washes ashore; a nurse's aide is a serial killer; the death of former college football player Ron Settles; a fun-house dummy turns out to be a corpse.

Clues such as chewing gum, paint and cat hair help forensic pathologists solve mysterious deaths and bring murderers to justice.

An electrician's mysterious death; catching the killer of a famous elk; a slumlord is charged with murder; identifying the killers of a pimp; video proves innocence; man accused in wife's disappearance.

A severed hand leads to a voodoo practitioner; hair leads to a conviction in the deaths of a woman and her baby; a bite mark on a body leads to husband's conviction.

A suicide note debunked; a serial rapist mails their DNA sample; a blood-sniffing dog; embalming doesn't conceal evidence.
