The Post Mortem Live: Newcastle to host infamous live autopsy roadshow

The infamous live autopsy roadshow, The Post Mortem Live, is returning to Newcastle later this year with a brand new murder case.

The show will be in the North East on October 26 and 27 - with visitors set to gain an insight into the murders of the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.

In a fictional story based on true events, the event aims to showcase the workings of the human body through hands on live dissections.

The show is produced by award-winning human anatomist Sam Piri, who was featured on the BBC’s Dragons Den in 2018.

Speaking about The Post Mortem Live, Sam said: “We change the autopsy narrative each season to ensure we are able to put a fresh take on the anatomy and keep audiences hooked on the plot as we embark on a gripping academic experience of  knowledge acquisition and true crime solving… it’s a really interesting  learning journey for all involved”.

The Post Mortem Live is heavily attended by NHS staff for training, as well as students and those who are interested in how the field of pathology works.

Everyone who attends the shows receives a three-hour CPD certificate.

Organisers have confirmed that The Post Mortem Live has been adapted and changed to ensure it is in keeping with respect for the Peter Sutcliffe’s victims and their families.

However, it will still examine the processes and modus operandi of the Yorkshire Ripper, coupled with the application of modern techniques that help ensure serial killers can’t remain at large.

Tickets for The Post Mortem Live start from £30 and are available at: https://www.thepostmortemlive.co.uk/.
