The Final Diagnosis: from renowned pathologist and author of The Quick and The Dead: Obscure cases of death, disease & murder

The 'if' of death is certain. The 'when' is unknown. It is the 'why' that really gets people's interest. From a rare and deadly amniotic avalanche to a victim of roasted peanuts.

The bestselling author of The Cause of Death and The Quick and the Dead with more stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and murder - as well as new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the trial of Mark Lundy, and the ill-fated journey of Ansett Flight 703.

Originally from South Africa, pathologist Dr Temple-Camp spent the early part of his career in war-torn Rhodesia examining the dead and dying. He came to New Zealand in the 1970s and has since worked on over 2000 cases. He is the author of two books, The Cause of Death and The Quick and the Dead - both bestsellers.
