Genesis

“Then the Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with human beings forever, for they are mortal’.... By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your food, until you return to the ground.

Genesis focuses, appropriately enough, on origins, both of the project itself and the office of coroner.

Origins of CSI:D explains how I stumbled into these paper morgues in the first place. I did not go looking for these records but, having found them, I have not been easily able to shake them.

Origins of the Coroner’s Office takes us back to the creation of the office itself. An English export, the coroner is almost as old as death and taxes and certainly related to both.

The Death Investigators gives credit to all who have worked on the project.
