Autopsie Spezial: Die letzten Stunden von ...

Pure sensationalism television. Do not waste your time watching this. This series do not even try to be educational or to explain illnesses at all. The dramatizations are badly done and lack of minimal interest or veracity. In the Andy Gibb episode the photo of him with kari michelsen is a fake photo cut and pasted from the real one of him with victoria principal... that only can provide an idea of the authenticity level of this series. A demonstration of how low a television show can get to obtain audience at any price. Unbearable to watch. Better read a good book instead. Panem et circenses.

This program is interesting, but you can't believe most of what this "doctor" says. He does get A LOT of medications wrong. For instance, he states that Brittany Murphy was on topiramate, which is a strong medication for someone with seizures, but she's not epileptic!!! Yeah, but it is also used to treat migraine headaches. And is that man said that a benzo is used to treat depression one more time, I'm going to hunt him down. The funniest though is when they are giving someone rescue breathes using a bag and have the mask on them upside down. So, it's decent entertainment, but I can't believe this guy is a real doctor (he is, I looked it up). Guess it's a good thing he only works on dead people.

I was laughing throughout the whole thing! The man was 82 years old!!! Where is the mystery? This is not forensics....this is desperation digging for a show. He lived hard...smoked,drank,etc. And lived to the age of 82. Bravo for him! There is no mystery how he died. The mystery is how he lived that long.

I've always had an interest in autopsies and knowing what was the ultimate causes of death so naturally I was interested in this show. And although the narrator does a great job and the re-enactment actor is are decent the alleged doctor is horrible. He literally states the obvious and tells us exactly what we already know. No new information or insight into these cases. I would have rated this higher if he wasn't on the show.

I enjoyed the info on the life and death of Doris Day, but so much of her good health was erroneously based on her being close to a Blue Zone. She lived six hours away from the closest Blue Zone (Loma Linda, CA). I live close to Doris and got very sick at the same time she did with the same symptoms. The only difference was her age. At 97 it was too much for her body to survive. I like this show in general. I usually already know the reported cause of death and don't expect Dr. Hunter to be Lt. Columbo, but it's always interesting to see how one's death was affected by the other aspects of his/her life.
