To Paula Johns, 64, from Minneapolis, in the United States, death is a “normal everyday occurrence”.
This is because the death investigator is always at the scene of a death to inspect the body and determine the cause and whether it was murder – yes, “something like the popular television series CSI: Crime Scene Investivation”.
“I spend at least an hour or more per scene, first examining the body for any signs of suspicious circumstances, and then investigating the surrounding location for any other tell-tale signs besides interviewing witnesses and family, ” says Johns who attended a death cafe hosted by death positivity advocate Catherine Ooi in Kuala Lumpur in Feb 2020.
