✦ Synopsis

was to "tell it as it is", and always to safeguard the independence of his public office. Secondly, his career was bedevilled by confrontation with authority and by constant efforts by colleagues to terminate his appointments and denigrate his achievements, a struggle not yet fought to a finish. And the third factor was that his work as sometime Chief Medical Examiner of Los Angeles brought him into contact with a series of showbiz personalities of worldwide renown. He was deeply moved by the tragic and unexplained death of Marilyn Monroe, by the assassination of Robert F Kennedy and by the death of a number of well-known personalities with whom he became involved.
