Ludwig van Beethoven: The Composer Who Requested His Own Autopsy Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Ludwig van Beethoven was one of the most brilliant composers to ever live and has a special place in the minds of many pathologists, embodying the spirit of the Latin phrase “Mortui Vivos Docent” or “The dead teach the living.” Beethoven requested his own autopsy 25 years prior to his untimely death in 1827, during a time in which autopsy was still a taboo practice, proving himself to be ahead of his time not only in music composition, but in medical science.

The Forensically Complex Case of Ellen Greenberg: Part Two Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

In part two, forensic pathologist Dr. Darin Wolfe and forensic autopsy technician Jessie Bones discuss the expert consults from Dr. Simon's thirty-two page report. After the release of the Hulu documentary "Death in Apartment 603: What Happened to Ellen Greenberg" this quickly became the most requested case for Knife After Death to review through the lens of forensic expertise and experience. Based on the incredibly sensitive and high profile nature of this case, we have very carefully reviewed all of the information before presenting it to you here, with the bulk of our focus being on the pathology and autopsy reports. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to email producer Jessie.
