"Imagine today is your last day"

Exciting webinar with crime scene cleaner Marcell Engel on May 14th

Frankfurt/Bad Soden, April 29, 2022. Every crime scene cleanup always tells the life story of a person. Who would know this better than crime scene cleaner Marcell Engel, who has seen over 15,000 crime scenes in 28 years. “As different as people die, they also lived differently,” he reports. And adds thoughtfully: “If they really lived.” Now in his webinar on May 14th at 5:00 p.m. he asks “Clean up your life – What wouldn’t you do if it was your last day?” And is excited: “I’m very curious to see what answers I hear to this unusual question.” He alludes to the fact that people usually ask the other way around, namely “What would you do?” In addition, he shares with participants interesting observations and insights that he gained from his experiences at crime scenes.

“We sometimes live as if we had two of them,” is one of the conclusions he draws after so many crime scene cleanups with moving life stories and sometimes dramatic backgrounds. What does he mean by that? He often hears from relatives of the deceased that they did not live their lives the way they would have liked. One of many thoughts that has been bothering him for a long time: "We have so many opportunities, we just have to use them. The willingness to change our inner attitude and actions are the key to this." This and much more will be the subject of the webinar, which is free of charge. In addition to his own intensive engagement with this topic, followers of his podcast “Cause of Death” gave him the idea. Marcell Engel reports on extraordinary missions and many touching life stories. The question comes up again and again: “What is really important in life?” in focus. More questions and suggestions appeared in the comments that reinforced Marcell Engel's idea for the webinar.

"I think it's important to exchange experiences. If I maybe even help someone to take a different perspective, I think that's great," he explains. He himself had a key experience that left a lasting impression on him. The son of a deceased person asked him to pass on the story of his father's death. He hoped that it would encourage other people to live their lives more consciously. Engel remembers: "That got under my skin. The man literally said to me, 'If you tell other people this, it's almost like organ donation.' Another experience also left an impression on him. A man on his deathbed confessed to him that he had wasted his life and had allowed himself far too few good things. The webinar will address many questions, such as “Am I using the time I have properly or am I getting bogged down in trivialities and missing out on the best things?”, “Am I even doing any of the things I want to do?” and “Have we perhaps wasted our time doing jobs we can’t stand, buying things we don’t need, trying to impress people we don’t like?” Engel says: "All questions that I have asked myself. That's why I find it challenging to think, 'What wouldn't I do if it were my last day?' I am already inviting everyone who is interested to what will certainly be a lively and stimulating exchange." If there is a corresponding response, he is planning further events such as workshops, seminars and webinars. "That is a promise. Because there are so many questions about life," he explains in conclusion.
