Doctor Death comes to The O2
A SELF-STYLED "Doctor Death" will bring a group of deceased bodies to Docklands tomorrow in a new exhibition.
In 1997, Doctor Gunther von Hagens invented plastination, a form of using fat and fluids to prevent dead bodies decaying.
Today, October 23, he launched his Body Worlds and The Mirror of Time exhibition at The O2 to the nation's press.
The event will be open to the public tomorrow.
Dr Gunther said: "I'm proud to be Doctor Death because when you think of death you think of life."
As well as human corpses, Dr Gunther has a dead giraffe body as part of the exhibition.
Dr Gunther added: "This is one of the most fascinating animals with its long neck and short body, yet up until now no-one has seen what is under its skin."
Tickets cost £12 for adults, Monday to Thursday, and £14 Friday to Sunday.
Children aged 6-12 are priced £8 midweek and £9.50 at weekends.
