In this photograph taken on October 10, 2024 Belgian forensic doctor Philippe Boxho poses prior to a conference about his work in Blegny. "Why not laugh at death?" A Belgian forensic doctor, Philippe Boxho, recounts his autopsies with a scathing humor in books that fascinate the public and also allow him to popularize a little-known profession. At 59 years old, including 33 years of practicing this specialty in the Liège region (east), Dr. Boxho has handled hundreds of corpses, and uncovered cases of homicide that would probably never have been discovered without his meticulous observations.
