Death is life\u2019s great equalizer, and for former deputy coroner Donna Francart, shepherding survivors through the aftermath of a loved one\u2019s unexpected passing was a calling she felt compelled to answer \u2014 at all hours \u2014 for nearly nine years.
In her new book, I've Seen Dead People: Diary of a Deputy Coroner, Francart gives readers a rare look inside the complex emotional, physical and mental ups and downs of one of society\u2019s most mysterious \u2014 and to some, macabre \u2014 professions.
As a deputy coroner, Francart worked medicolegal death investigations, which are those involving suspicious, violent, unexplained or unexpected deaths. She was often the bearer of bad news, notifying family members of the deceased and sitting with them as they processed a spectrum of emotions, from shock and disbelief to pain and sorrow.
With I've Seen Dead People, Francart shares her unfiltered thoughts and emotions as she navigates a world most of us cannot imagine \u2014 a world Francart was drawn to out of a genuine desire to help others during their darkest hours.

\u201cEvery single one of us on this earth deserves to die with dignity and respect,\u201d she says. \u201cIf our lives are robbed from us by the hands of another, our voices must be heard, to tell the truth and seek justice. Every one of us was a mother, a father, someone's brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin. Everyone is someone, and that is how I handled every single case that I was on.\u201d
Lacking access to structured debriefings, Francart turned to journaling as a way of privately unpacking the profound grief she faced in her role and preserving her own mental well-being. As she did, she found herself in a conundrum of perplexing relationships with both the living and the dead.
I've Seen Dead People also chronicles everyday moments, as Francart tried to provide as normal an upbringing as possible for her two sons. Along the way, they all learned to share their space with the many spirits that Francart encountered, and to embrace the beauty of life.
\u201cOne thing is guaranteed, you will walk away with your eyes opened a little more, your heart more giving and your life more cherished,\u201d she adds.
Author Donna Francart was born and raised in the Midwest. She served as a deputy coroner for nearly nine years beginning in 2007 and assisted with more than 2,000 death investigations. She now shares her life with her two adult sons, their two better halves and one granddaughter.
I've Seen Dead People is her first book and has been adapted into a screenplay by Frank Burmaster and Gary Revel, with plans to develop it for a feature film. Revel owns Jongleur Books, a publishing company associated with Mother Nature Festival Live Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to stop global warming.
