Body facts with Joseph Scott Moore.

I'm not by any means the brightest guy in the world.

I think that a lot of it, any knowledge that I have that I've been blessed with comes from repetition and being around it

what I do you know for so long you know you just kind of absorb it after a while it doesn't mean

that you're that you're intuitively in makes sense there intuitively intelligent It just means that you can absorb information.

And my area is very specific, okay, in-death investigation. And granted, there are all kinds of

subcategories within death investigation. But for me, it always has been the best way to learn things is to compartmentalize

them. And I picked them up. I was a big advocate when I was an undergraduate in college of

using index cards to run through before I would do testing and that sort of thing. I love that

because it really made me learn the information.

But, you know, that kind of breaking down of things, lending itself to absorption of knowledge,

it's certainly a way that we work in the morgue.

We don't just essentially do all of our dissections at one time.

We take it piece by piece and learning from each individual element of the human body what we can to try to arrive at a cause and ultimately a manner of death.

But, you know, there are people out there, and we've talked about them on the show, who do their own compartmentalizing of human remains. They break them down into various

elements and also for various reasons, which we're going to discuss today. Today we're going

to talk about the five, the five types of dismemberment that we come across

in the field, in forensic science, in medical legal death investigation.

I'm Joseph Scott Morgan, and this is bodybats.

And Dave, you know you can verify this.
