mortem
A curious mortician. Determined forensic scientists. And one suspicious death.
Welcome to Carla Valentine’s mortuary. A chilled, white, windowless room, where you cross the threshold into the world of the dead. From the first cut, to the final stitch, Carla examines how each body got to her slab. But it’s forensic science that joins the dots, as we venture to the scene of the crime and join the scientists on the frontline.
Each case, told over three episodes, tells the story of one body, through the sciences you may have never heard in detail before.
The victim is fictional. But the science is real. Based on true crime investigations.
A Whistledown production for BBC Sounds.

Stats: Statistics are produced by BBC to help mortem to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: BBC or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of mortem later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to mortem also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: BBC may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. mortem may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
mortem is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
