Show Notes

CTE is surprisingly common - but, it can only be diagnosed post-mortem, and by a forensic expert. So, how is does an examination work? And why is it so hard to have one done? 

Dr Linda Iles is a forensic neuropathologist, and someone who performs post-mortem brain examinations on people every single day. What she discovers in these exams is extraordinary, and revealing of the life that person lead. 

Understand how someone is diagnosed with CTE post-mortem, and the intricate details of brain examinations with host Kathryn Fox; as she chats with Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine's Dr Linda Iles. 

Crime Insiders executive producer Dan Mullins presents a look back at one of our earlier episodes.
