In Episode 9 of Season 2, Dr. Wolfe explains the most common of the many injuries that can occur when a person is involved in a motor vehicle crash while not wearing a seat belt. This is considered to be a brief overview, focusing only on head and chest injuries in such a scenario.
Dr. Wolfe discusses the basic pathophysiology of high blood pressure and its consequences within the body, as seen in those who are autopsied due to deaths from hypertensive cardiomyopathy.

In this episode, Dr. Wolfe addresses the death of Bob Saget, including a detailed explanation of the head injuries that caused his death and what goes on during an investigation of an unattended death involving head injuries. First and foremost, foul play must be ruled out. The autopsy is one piece of a larger puzzle.
In this case study, forensic pathologist Dr. Wolfe discusses a type of case more commonly seen in northern latitudes and colder environments. The importance of scene examination is paramount in such cases, and the clinical and autopsy findings are discussed.
In this episode, Dr. Wolfe discusses a rare case in which a case of sudden death was caused by a benign tumor. Note: The time of the episode may be listed as 36 minutes, but it is 23 minutes.
Dr. Wolfe discusses many of the sights, smells and sounds of the autopsy procedure that have resulted in visitors to his autopsies being unsettled, running out of the room or fainting. This is a good episode for anyone who has not observed an autopsy but is considering doing so.
