It’s chaos, blood, and body parts. Join Dr. Kendall Crowns each week as he discusses stories and cases from his over 35-year journey with death, from the tornado alley of Kansas, to the bloody Memphis shoreline of the muddy Mississippi River, to the ultra-violence of Chicago, and finally, the methamphetamine fueled insanity of Texas.

Encompassing his days as an autopsy tech, medical student, resident/fellow, and finally as a medical examiner, his stories range from humorous to horrifying and cover a wide variety of topics from week to week. You will never know what you’ll hear, will it be courtroom drama, decapitations, gangland shootings, feet with no body, or chihuahuas feasting on the flesh of decomposing bodies? The cases will never end.

It will always be different, and there is never a dull moment. So tune in each week and climb aboard, your nightmares will never be the same.


Mayhem in the Morgue takes listeners deep into the bloody, bizarre, and often unbelievable
realities of forensic pathology. Each week, Dr. Crowns shares gritty stories from the morgue, the
crime scene, and the courtroom. Expect gallows humor, hard truths, and cases that range from
unsettling to unforgettable — think decomposing feet with no bodies, courtroom bombshells,
and the kinds of deaths that even seasoned pathologists can’t quite explain.
If you think you’ve heard it all… you haven’t.
