Cedric Keith Simpson, CBE, FRCP, FRCPath, (20 July 1907 – 21 July 1985) was an English forensic pathologist. He was Professor of Forensic Medicine in the University of London at Guy's Hospital, Lecturer in Forensic Medicine at the University of Oxford and a founder member and President of the Association of Forensic Medicine.〔Dr Suzy Lishman, 'Westminster green plaque honours Founding Fellow', ''The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists'', Issue 160, October 2012, p.291〕 Professor Simpson became renowned for his post-mortems on high profile murder cases, including the 1949 Acid Bath Murders committed by John George Haigh and the murder of gangster George Cornell, who was shot dead by Ronnie Kray in 1966. He pioneered forensic dentistry, and was prominent in alerting physicians and others to the reality of the battered baby syndrome. Professor Simpson wrote a standard textbook on his subject and edited ''Taylor's Medical Jurisprudence'', a basic work of reference of the British medical profession. ''Forty Years of Murder'' was Simpson's autobiography and became an international best-seller in the late 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://forensicpathologist.webnode.com/simpson/ )〕 He was London’s first forensic pathologist to be recognised by the Home Office, and in 1975 his long public service was recognised with the award of a CBE. Professor Keith Simpson had by then gained the reputation of having performed more autopsies than any other pathologist in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pathologist honoured )〕 ==Career== Keith Simpson was born in 1907 in Brighton, Sussex where his father was a general practitioner. In August 1924, aged 17, Simpson enrolled at Guy’s Hospital Medical School. By the age of 25 he was a teacher in the Pathology department. In 1934 Dr Simpson was made Supervisor of Medico-legal Post-Mortems and had his first case with Scotland Yard. In 1937 he was appointed Medico-legal advisor to Surrey Constabulary. In 1963 he was elected to the Royal College of Pathologists. In 1947 the student textbook ''Forensic Medicine'', which Simpson wrote during the war, was published. Following the death of Bernard Spilsbury in the same year, Simpson became one of the leading forensic pathologists in Britain, with a string of important cases. In 1950, along with Francis Camps, Donald Teare and Professor Sydney Smith, Simpson formed the Association of Forensic Medicine. In addition to his scientific publications, popular works such as his 1978 autobiography ''Forty Years of Murder''〔First published in Great Britain by George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd; paperback published in London by Panther Books, 1980 (ISBN 978-0586050385)〕 made his name familiar to the public. He practised medicine from 146 Harley Street and Guy's Hospital. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keith Simpson (pathologist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
