    Reinforces the basics of every death investigation. Also covered some of the more uncommon suicide methods. It was good to get training overall on low frequency deaths.

    A scenario based approach

    Though I understand the necessity of step-by-step training, it was unnecessary to have multiple scenarios on the same topic i.e. hanging.

    It was ok, Not Great

    It was an ok course, I am not hav fan of a course where the instructor just reads what's on the screen in the power points, I can read. I couple of scenarios would have been fine but 10 was way too many. I would not recommend this course to my staff.

  • Cristina

  • Natasha

    The title of the course is exactly the training that was provided, and was excellent.

    As a death investigator, this was a great course that provided a succinct set of instructions and information that can be easily used when investigating these cases. The scenario-based instruction helped to understand the trained material. Excellent course!

    Suicide Investigation Scenario course

    I did like the scenario part to this CE and did note that Demo Mode appears in the background of the slides in section 8. I also was not aware of what a 5150 hold was, I am in Ohio and not sure if that is a local denotation or just something I had previously not heard. I did wonder if perhaps some of the scenarios could be presented with the findings and then asking what appeared off so as to reinforce a potential tampered/staged scene.

    Fantastic training!!

    The training video was well put together, very informative, and the scenarios were absolutely phenomenal! One of the best online training classes I’ve ever taken!

    Wasn't sure at first.

    When the course started, I wasn't sure about it at first. It just seemed like a lot of review from initial training. In fact it was. As I continued through the course, I realized the beginning review was helpful for processing the scenario training. Good course, I was not disappointed.

    Great Scenario Based Training

    Very good information and examples regarding homicides and suicides. Also great detail on the carbon monoxide death investigation, and the effects of carbon monoxide once it enters your body.

    Suicide Death Investigation

    A great course for coroner's / ME investigators as well as law enforcement officers. It should be a required course for all new coroner's investigators.

    great course

    this course was very well done. I liked the scenario based teaching, which really explained the "how to" of investigating these types of calls.

    I really enjoyed the course and Mr. Gentry is an excellent teacher. I plan on taking any classes that he is teaching!

    Nicely done

    This course was a very nice suppliment to my Forensic Medicine education as I break into a new job as an MDI. Though most of the info was a review, the scene walk-throughs were particularly helpful, as each scene provides unique challenges, but all scenes require a methodical approach. Thanks!

    Good

    The presenter was knowledgeable but very robotic and stiff in the presentation. The class had way too many scenarios. Two to three or one of each type or the most common types of suicides, would have been better. Though the presenter had good info and was experienced, they made a lot of mistakes. The second or third scenario was a person who shot themselves in their backyard and laid a tarp out under them. The presenter was walking in the fake blood as he was showing how to process the scene. The presenter also during the scene with the lady on the couch with the helium tank was not wearing gloves. It was obvious the presenter worked for a coroner office because that is what he kept referring to. They should have presented the course to apply to ME and coroner offices not just coroner offices. The presenter was inconsistent in how he approached each scenario and also kept saying different things were the most important things. I also thought it was inappropriate that they had a place in the lecture to try and sell books that they had written.

    Excellent course.

    This was a great course. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in becoming an Investigator or those currently already an Investigator. I have worked with Jeff Gentry for years now. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of an investigation.
