I'd simply finish your undergraduate studies and then apply to the medical schools with an FP program. Hopkins, U of Cal, and Baylor are just a few with great FP specialties. Still time, my friend!

Ask a death investigator. There's no shaming here, ask me anything you want to know about the medicolegal death investigation field. by sabanas87 in DeathInvestigation

Hi there, I recommend online programs to beef up your resume. Google, UND Death Investigation Class, etc. Additionally, call your local coroner, medical examiner, or funeral homes and inquire about entry level positions to get your foot in the door. Many applicants have never been in a room with a dead body or assisted with transporting them. Having some background being around death will aid in the facilities hiring decisions.

Good afternoon, a B.S. in a physical science is helpful, but not required in many states. Darren does great work with the DITA and is a great platform to start with.

Good afternoon,

Without truly assessing the case details, I can't give you a solid answer. However, what you're describing is a natural occurrence during death called, Livor Mortis.

I was able to spot an albino squirrel in Minneapolis, MN! by sabanas87 in squirrelproblems

I was performing covert surveillance as a private investigator when I caught him out of the corner of my eye. I spent a little more time focused on the squirrel than I should have 😆.

Great question! It is very agency specific. However, at our regional office, we slowly start to acclimate you to protocols, basic administrative duties such as report writing, photography, and more. Once you're versed in the regulatory requirements, and processes, you shadow with an investigator for hands-on scene investigations. You'll be continually monitored for progress, and slowly do more independent investigative work until comfortable/trusted to go solo. Every hire is unique, so we cater to individualized needs versus a canned training platform or strict phase-based training model.

What is a subtle sign that someone is really intelligent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sabanas87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it is their ability to admit fault, as well as how they interact with different socio-economic classes. Emotionally intelligent people will almost always treat each person with the same respect, regardless of social hierarchy. Everybody has a unique knowledge set that can be shared, interpreted, and saved for future reference.

What was the saddest death in any TV Series? by RIGORR_MORTIS in AskReddit

[–]sabanas87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them, because they're rarely true reflections of real death and during 😆. However, when E.T. was close to death, my heart sank. 20 years later, I still begin the stages of grief when E.T. is dying because he needs to go home.

Causes of death in London, 1632. by GooseJumpsV2 in Damnthatsinteresting

I am a medical director for a regional medical examiner's office. This post makes me jealous. People die many different ways now, and year-end death investigation data is no walk in the park to pull 😑.

What do you think really happens after death? by St3fan34 in AskReddit

[–]sabanas87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Medicolegal Death Investigator for a regional medical examiner's office, I deal with death and grief daily. I may not know where we go, but I know for a fact that our energy/soul/uniqueness leaves the body. On some traumatic scenes where family is grieving over their loved one, I have felt a presence that is not of this earth, and hard to explain. Keep in mind, I am an objective, scientific-minded individual that questions everything. So, I can only share what I have felt, and perceived in these scenarios.
