Legend has it that the ghost of Nora Montgomery still haunts these very halls, as does her beloved-- if mutilated-- toddler.

I think you killed your wife with the TH-16 and stole her body so there'd be no autopsy.

But... during the course of the flight, more and more granules will get sucked into the filter, clogging it and starving the engine of fuel mid-flight, regardless of the extra weight of Hank Gerrard's body.

If you've got kids, I don't understand how you could stand over Danny's body, smoke and then carry on walking your dog.

Two of the files have death certificates, medical records, body transport permits, and passports, but without photographs.

So Mr. Jefferies used his boss's corpse as a dress-up doll but didn't kill him.

But you bring this body back and they put it on me, they can put it on you.

Now, I cannot currently explain why he may have wanted them found... but it's a startling coincidence

This guy Darrell's been working a case, a series of grisly hotel murders -- one at the Kensington, another at the Waldorf in Cleveland -- bodies stabbed, impaled on the ceiling.

We have an assortment of exploding stomachs, throats ripped open, bodies cut in half, limbs chewed off, and so forth, but they have one thing in common.

They will add your flesh to their rivers of blood, and mountains of bones.

When they mutilate a body like that, they make people think they must have been involved, they must have deserved such a death 'cause they did something.

This is some fucked-up shit. You really think he just found the body? The abrasions seem to have happened postmortem, and discoloration on the abdomen tells me he's probably a bridge jumper.

Hey, so, just curious... I'd like to point out you're reading off a laundry list of corpse requirements.

Truth is, we didn't find the virus, but we did develop new techniques to safely exhume bodies that might contain virus.

In Tibetan culture, they are performing very important sky burials. In places like Tibet, there are no places to bury the dead, or wood to cremate them, so these vultures provide a natural disposal system.

Because there are no vultures, there's been a spread in the numbers of feral dogs at carcass dump sites, and when you have feral dogs, you have a huge time bomb of rabies. The number of cases of rabies has increased tremendously in India.

And to give you some example, I remember standing and looking down a road as far as I could see, at least a mile, and there were bodies piled twice my height of the dead.

The answer: the tradition has been for researchers to exclude animal scavengers from decomposition studies by placing a cage over the decaying subject matter.

Therefore, the goal is to get forensic scientists to focus on vulture evidence and to get law enforcement to consider vulture scavenging and a possible recent death when skeletal remains are found.

So I was in the prison. ["Nsawan Prison"] Now, what you are seeing is a pile of dead bodies.

We're actually starting well before that, hopefully before there are any bodies, and we're trying to build the case for who the people are, what they're trying to do, and that involves massive amounts of information.

(Laughter) My particular favorite was a blonde woman from the Deep South who eventually admitted to me that she was really a necrophiliac, and had taken this job after she got in trouble down at the morgue.

I've tracked gun smugglers from Russia to Somalia, I've worked with warlords in Afghanistan and the Congo, I've counted cadavers in Colombia, in Haiti, in Sri Lanka, in Papua New Guinea.

(Laughter) Waffle House is an exceptional 24-hour diner -- (Laughter) (Applause) thank you -- where you can order your hash browns the many ways that someone would dispose of a human corpse...

By contrast, the first known burials about 120, 000 years ago were likely reserved for transgressors, excluding them from the usual rites intended to honor the dead.

Our medical students held die-ins in their white coats, but the medical community has largely stood by passively as ongoing discrimination continues to affect the disease profile and mortality.

So now that we've got this device, we can go beyond studying cadavers, because you can only learn so much about concussion from studying a cadaver, and we want to learn and study live humans.

Tell your daughters of this year, how we woke needing coffee but discovered instead cadavers strewn about our morning papers, waterlogged facsimiles of our sisters, spouses, small children.

They say they do this for the public health because the dead body can be dangerous, but the doctors in this room will tell you that that claim would only apply if the person had died of some wildly infectious disease, like Ebola.

I was there because a colleague of mine named Katrina Spade is attempting to create a system, not of cremating the dead, but composting the dead.

And this lump takes over my throat, as if each of those bodies just found a grave right here in my esophagus.

(Laughter) And then we look over the body and we find an old cigarette lighter and we say, "Jesus, it was dark."

Even doctors who actually dissected human cadavers would bafflingly repeat Galen’s mistakes, despite seeing clear evidence to the contrary.

Across cultures and time periods, there's evidence of survival cannibalism, when people living through a famine, siege or ill-fated expedition had to either eat the bodies of the dead or starve to death themselves.

At first, stolen mummies from Egypt supplied the mumia craze, but soon the demand was too great to be sustained on Egyptian mummies alone, and opportunists stole bodies from European cemeteries to turn into mumia.

But on the edge of town, one elderly lady, a charwoman in the charnel ground, saw a jeweled foot on a jeweled lotus on his shoulder and then the dog, but she saw the jewel foot of the Maitreya, and she offered a flower.

If you pay 100, 000 dollars, you can arrange to have your body frozen after death and stored in liquid nitrogen in one of these tanks in an Arizona warehouse, awaiting a future civilization that is advanced to resurrect you.
