Behind every sudden death, there’s a story—and a detective who has to uncover it.

In this second episode of The Detective’s Files, Jacques Morrell sits down with Simon Ford to explore how the police investigate unexpected deaths.

From natural causes to cases of suicide, Jacques reflects on his time in uniform—sharing first-hand experiences with the deceased and their families, and explaining the vital roles of the police surgeon and coroner.

While procedures have changed over the years, Jacques reveals that professionalism is always defined by calmness, compassion, and respect in the face of life’s most difficult moments.
