Tonight! “Tell Me How I Died” a New True Crime Series Debuts Friday, July 19 @ 10PM on A&E

Families and law enforcement count on forensic pathologists for answers; part detective, part physician, and part advocate for the dead, pathologists work closely with investigators to crack highly questionable cases.

A&E is premiering a new documentary series about solving mysterious deaths. Each hour-long episode will feature forensic pathologists working with investigators to crack questionable cases, trying to determine if it was an accident or crime.

In tonight’s premiere episode, a pastor’s second wife is killed in a car accident. During the investigation process, pathologists determine they need to also investigate suspicions over his first wife’s death.

There are hundreds of thousands of suspicious deaths in the U.S. every year. When there is nowhere else to turn, families and law enforcement count on forensic pathologists for answers. Part detective, part physician, and part advocate for the dead, pathologists work closely with investigators to crack the highly questionable cases. Using the autopsy and clues from the victim’s own body, they’ll uncover how the victim died and if it truly was an unfortunate event—or something far more sinister.
