The documentary "A Certain Kind of Death" (2003) explores what happens to people who die with no next of kin, following the process from the discovery of the body to the final disposition of the remains. It is unflinchingly candid, showing dead bodies in various stages of decomposition but focuses more on the stories of the deceased and the steps taken to deal with unclaimed bodies. Where to watch:
- The documentary is available on YouTube via playlists or channels that host it (such as "havoctrend") for free streaming, though typically at lower resolution.
- It has been available on DVD and sometimes appears on platforms like Sundance TV.
- It may be found intermittently on streaming platforms, but it is not consistently available for rent or purchase on major streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, or others as of the latest data.
"A Certain Kind of Death" is a sobering documentary recommended for those interested in real, unedited portrayals of life and death, with profound reflections on mortality and what remains when loved ones are absent.
