Stumbling across a dead body is the stuff of nightmares. For Mo Oliver, it’s all in a day's work.
That’s because Mo Oliver identifies human remains for a living. It’s a job that’s taken him to some very dark places; from mass graves in Bosnia to Sri Lankan beaches clogged with the bodies of the Boxing Day Tsunami. We talk about the challenges of his work and how it feels to reunite the lost with the living.

Produced by Georgie Vestey and Kate McAll with original music by John Biddle.
