Autoerotic Death versus Suicide
Great course. The comparison case study facts and findings are very helpful in these types of death investigations. As with all cases, it was a great reminder to avoid investigator bias. The course content was extremely helpful; some parts were a good review, and my investigations will really benefit from the new information I learned.
