The book: “Die sieben Prinzipien des Tatortreinigers”
Book by Marcell Engel will be published on September 14th
Frankfurt/Bad Soden, September 13, 2021. Marcell Engel has been a crime scene cleaner for over 26 years, has seen over 15,000 crime scenes worldwide and is known from radio and television. He knows from experience that every operation is different and every crime scene tells its own story. Now he has written a book: “The 7 principles of the crime scene cleaner – stories about murder, violence, love and hope”. About his motivations, he says: "A lot of things made me think. I learn from all these stories and experiences for life. And I want to share that with other people."
In his job he often sees terrible images of devastating relationships, lonely deaths or brutal attacks. In his book he describes seven impressive crime scenes and illuminates the background to violence and destruction as well as human fate. He is concerned with questions such as “What really matters in life?”, “What can we take with us?” and “What do we learn from the dead?”
From this he develops personal insights and seven principles, such as “Don’t let pain control you” and “Relationships are what lasts”. All principles have one thing in common: They offer solutions on how to escape seemingly hopeless situations and dominating emotional worlds. “I invite you to change your perspective and try new things,” says the author. An offer that comes at just the right time and is met with a positive response. This is proven by the constantly increasing number of users of his “Cause of Death” podcasts, which he regularly posts on popular social media channels. Marcell Engel: “I started doing this about a year and a half ago and noticed that there was a lot of interest here.” A large fan base quickly formed. Then the idea for the book came about. He has also been producing a new podcast episode every week for some time now, thereby actively engaging with his listeners. "Of course I will also include parts of my book in the future. And I'm planning a stage program about causes of death and more," he reveals in conclusion.
