Dr. Tadeusz Jóźwik, the forensic physician who performed the autopsy on the martyr’s body on 31st October 1984, speaks about the course of martyrdom and the causes of death of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko.

The cassock that Father Jerzy was wearing on the day of his abduction and murder – witness to the priest’s martyrdom and a precious relic – is kept in the museum at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Warsaw.

Ewa K. Czaczkowska: You were a member of the team that performed the autopsy on Father Jerzy Popiełuszko. That was 40 years ago. Why did you decide to speak out publicly only now?

Dr Tadeusz Jóźwik: Over the years, I have been closely following what is written about the murder of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko in the press and in books. I knew that I had knowledge and materials that could explain many of the things raised in these publications, due to my decades of experience as a forensic physician, and above all as the person who performed the autopsy on the priest.
