Join one of New Zealand’s most respected forensic and coronial pathologists, Dr. Cynric Temple-Camp, for a thought-provoking afternoon of stories, insight, and conversation.
Drawing on a remarkable career investigating sudden, unexpected and unexplained deaths and the experiences that inspired his bestselling books, Dr. Temple-Camp will share what working so closely with death has taught him about life, humanity, and the people behind every case.

Following the presentation, there will be an open Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to ask questions about forensic pathology, the coronial process, his writing, or the many fascinating experiences from his career.

Whether you’ve read his books, have an interest in forensic medicine, or are simply curious to hear from one of New Zealand’s most engaging storytellers, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

An afternoon of stories, science, and thoughtful conversation about one of life’s few certainties.
This event will be recorded and available on request.
