Toby Rose

Toby Rose is a Forensic Pathologist and Medical Director of the Provincial Forensic Pathology Unit of the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service in Toronto.

In popular entertainment, Forensic Pathologists help to catch the “bad guys.” In real life, Toby performs autopsies to determine the cause of death when people die suddenly and unexpectedly. She frequently testifies as an expert witness in court. Toby’s expertise lies in examining dead bodies and observing, documenting and interpreting the findings. Her most intriguing cases are those in which people die under suspicious circumstances but her findings indicate that death is due to a natural disease or an accident masquerading as foul play.

Toby received her M.D. from the University of Saskatchewan and trained in Pathology at the University of Toronto. She is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Anatomical Pathology, a diplomat of the American Board of Pathology in both Anatomical and Forensic Pathology, and assistant professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology at the University of Toronto.
