008 Coroner Darren Dake Takes Us Into The World Of Death Investigations
Today our special guest is Coroner Darren Dake.
We discuss his 30-year career in law enforcement including 20 years being a death investigator, and most recently his election to the position of coroner.
Darren takes us into death investigations in detail. We discuss cases involving infants to senior citizens. Because of this, some may find this episode unsettling and disturbing, this is definitely an episode that is not suitable for children.
Darren also explains how he and his investigators deal with the daily exposure to death and tragedy. He also sheds light on the potential problems that face those who are constantly exposed to these events.
Darren and I also debunk common mistakes that writers make when dealing with death investigations.
