Ep 14 - Body Snatchers and Body Keepers

Have you ever seen a dead body? 

People find dead bodies everywhere, under floorboards, inside chimneys, and in their homes. They’re at crime scenes, disaster scenes and in morgues. There have been dead bodies on the red carpet, in cannibals’ dens, and even advertised in the classifieds. 

In this series, experienced crime and court reporter Sharnelle Vella, and veteran radio host Dee Dee Dunleavy look at where dead bodies have been found, how they got there, and most importantly, the effect on people who found them. 

We talk to people who deal with death daily as part of their jobs, and people who weren’t prepared for the shock of finding a dead body.
