America's Favorite Dumbass

In highschool a billion years ago we had some tenured coach that taught, among other things, Biology and a forensics class. He had a similar, albeit briefer, text that he’d whip out from time to time that was used for the latter class. The pictures were in color and horrifying. The effects of a 12 gauge on the human body are no bueno. I’ve read Roach’s Stiff book and I think that’s as far as I’m willing to go. This stuff is extremely interesting and I’d half consider getting that Tales book, but I don’t think what’s left of my withered soul could take it. Anyway I’ll have a number 4 with a diet lemonade and some Chick Fil A sauce please.

I strongly recommend the tales book, it's not only very compelling and easy to read with a conversational style, but there actually aren't any photos. So if you're a normal person who finds this kind of interesting but doesn't want to look at yucky photographs, it's a really good choice.

A book I’d probably own if they produced it without pictures. I had a book called What A Way To Go! when I was a kid, that was basically just a compendium of bizarre deaths featuring all the classics (including that pissing on the third rail one) but no extreme details. I enjoyed Working Stiff by Judy Melinek, a working ME in New York, which contained a lot of stories like the ones being related in here.

This (and the thread in general) weirdly reminded me this morning of a booklet I found in my brother’s room called the ‘FHM Book of Gore’ that was full of horrific photos and stories like the ones mentioned already. The ones that stand out in my memory are of a man who had portions of his face ripped off in a dog attack, a Japanese family who were keeping their elderly mother’s corpse in her bedroom so they could keep collecting her pension, and a man who had his dick completely bitten off by his wife who had an epileptic fit while giving him head under their table in a fancy restaurant.

What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
This book reminds me of the forensic medicine course I took in law school. We were shown many horrifying photos of dead bodies that the good old shock websites couldn't have prepared me for. The worst part was probably how it was all business as usual for the lecturers and how mundane many of the deaths were - like some lady accidentally falling out of a window and ripping half her face off one the way down by hitting a door that was left open on the ground floor.

We had the option of attending an autopsy within that course, which was super weird and frankly kinda scary for someone with no medical background. I don't think the course had many practical merits and was created just for the amusement of doctors showing dead bodies to unprepared law students and macabre aficionados among the students.

Gonna guess this is a chapter on toxins/poisons/allergies. Someone that young on TPN whose TPN is of interest in cause-of-death went out of either dehydration from making GBS threads themselves to death or a bad, bad reaction to something they shouldn't have had. Like if this were the chapter on stabbing, I doubt the TPN and bowel resection is relevant unless it's like, her surgeon stabbing her over unpaid medical bills.

If that's too vague gonna put my final chips down on poison, which I think is more of a semantics issue.

It has incidences like that, but the topics are more by means of death. So there's some of that in the asphyxiation chapter, but it's not separated as to like the... motive I guess you'd say? Accidental gunshot wounds are in the same chapters as deliberate ones.

I'm partially doing this to explore the book, so the answer is... probably? But the index is very technical in the sense that, for example, a hurricane death would probably be under a form of blunt trauma death, and a hurricane death would probably be in the drowning or blunt trauma sections. It's not very concerned with the circumstances, it's literally what happened immediately to a body. There's a chapter on drowning for example, a cursory look suggests most of these are natural drownings but it doesn't explain much of how they ended up in a situation where their bodies drowned.

Dead Men Do Tell Tales is still probably my go-to for interesting reading with no pics, many of these do have pictures (as they're references) or they're just weirdly twee gorehound rubernecker books. It's super hard to find something reasonably in the middle.

It's a bit of an oversimplification, but by and large the mundane/accidental deaths are way the worst and most gruesome in this book. I cannot BELIEVE how easy it is to shear off your face, you got that one in one. Falling on a broken pane of glass? Do NOT do that.
