Board-certified forensic pathologist Danielo Perez was educated at Columbia University, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the State University of New York at Downstate College of Medicine. He spent time as an assistant medical examiner with the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office before going on to a career in forensic pathology, performing autopsies and working to determine the cause of a death. One of the most meaningful aspects of Danielo Perez’s work is consulting privately with families who are seeking closure for a loved one’s death.
During his residency at Stony Brook University Medical Center, Mr. Perez participated in interdepartmental conferences on pediatric, colorectal, and head and neck tumors. Over the course of his career he also has presented work on hydrogen sulfide suicides, drowning, alcoholism, and the death of literary figure Edgar Allan Poe. A paper he wrote on examining gunshot wounds was published in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology. He is a current member of the National Association of Medical Examiners, the American Academy of Forensic Scientists, and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
Mr. Perez has studied Eastern philosophy, meditation, and martial arts - including tai chi and bagua - for many years and taught classes in New York before relocating to Texas. He also enjoys calligraphy and writing, and considers Edgar Allan Poe an influence.
