No one likes the thought of dying.  But once we’re dead – what then?  What happens to our bodies when we “shuffle off this mortal coil” as Shakespeare said?

Shari Forbes is an expert on what happens to our physical selves after we die.  She’s a forensic scientist and the creator of Canada’s first “body farm” – a unique outdoor lab whose volunteers never leave.  Listen to the interview to find out more!
