Reflections on Death: chance, observations
and opinions 11.30 – 12.30pm

Cynric Temple–Camp
moved from Cape Town,
South Africa, to New Zealand
in the 1980s and lives in
Palmerston North where he is
a director of Medlab. He has
been a pathologist for over 30
years and is regarded as one
of New Zealand’s leaders in
the field. He is also the author
of two riveting memoirs about
death, mystery and murder.
He describes himself as an
aficionado of death and shares
his passion in these first–hand
accounts.
His 2017 work, The Cause
of Death, was a bestseller,
and his second collection of
macabre stories, The Quick
and the Dead, has proved just
as popular.
Both books contain true stories
of life and death and outline
the unlikely, extraordinary,
obscure and often tragic ways
humans meet their end.
As he lifts the lid on his arcane occupation, Cynric Temple–Camp
will provide fascinating insights for his Whanganui Festival
audience.
