Prof. Dr.  Michael Tsokos: The forensic doctor mourns the loss of both parents

The forensic pathologist, also known as an author and from television, Prof. Dr. Michael Tsokos mourns the loss of his parents.

Prof. Dr. Michael Tsokos (56) mourns his parents, who died within a very short time. The well-known forensic doctor shares this.

There is a “good, but unfortunately also a very sad reason” why he has deliberately not contacted his followers in the past few days. “Within just three weeks between mid-May and early June, my parents passed away in quick succession,” he explains.

Even if people like him “professionally deal with death every day [haben], it is something completely different when it affects your closest family.” It is something “that cannot be put into words, an emptiness that causes physical pain, even if it does not materialize, is not physically tangible. And cognitively it is even more incomprehensible …”

“Sometimes time and the world just have to stand still for a while”

He asks for your understanding that he is now mainly concentrating on his family and wants to take a back seat on social media for the time being. “Sometimes time and the world just have to stand still for a while. It’s now (my) way of showing respect to those who have gone,” writes Tsokos.

Prof. Dr. Tsokos is not only director of the institute for forensic medicine at the Berlin Charité, but also known from television and as an author. As one of the best-known German forensic pathologists, he has published books such as the true crime thriller “Zerrissen” and “On the Trail of Death” in recent years, in which he deals with forensic medicine cases that he himself examined . Tsokos can also be seen alongside Jan Josef Liefers (58) in the true crime documentary “Autopsy – Real Cases with Tsokos and Liefers”.
