Cast

Luc
A former detective with the local police in Aargau, Luc left the force to take over his late father’s funeral business – but his investigative instincts still tend to get the better of him! He also still has quite a thing for his ex, chief inspector Anna-Maria Giovanoli, and is always on-hand to help out with her cases.

Anna-Maria
A chief inspector with the local police in Aargau, Anna-Maria appreciates Luc’s frequent assistance – they make a great team. She’s still got a thing for Luc, too, but keeps her focus on the job and, as Season 5 begins, meets someone new. Could this be love?

Fabio
He may look like a reject from a Cure tribute band, but sensitive Fabio has proven himself to be a very talented mortician, and an invaluable member of the Conrad Institute team. He recently passed his exam and became a fully licensed undertaker – and Luc decides to make him a full partner in the business.

Erika
Erika is an old friend of Luc’s father (she’s not Luc’s mom, so don’t even go there!) and the tireless engine that drives the business of the Conrad Institute funeral home. Even though, as the new season begins, she’s off on a wild South American adventure with her man Willi, she’s always there for Luc and Fabio – via Skype.

Dörig
When he’s not at the station being Anna-Maria’s long-suffering lieutenant, Dörig moonlights as an apartment manager – alimony plus paying for his daughter Vanessa’s very expensive school add up to more than he can manage on a cop’s salary alone. On the rare occasions when he’s not working, Dörig enjoys tossing back a few beers (and plenty of wurst) with Luc.

Semmelweis
Semmelweis brings new meaning to the word “sardonic” – he just may be the most sardonic “sardonic pathologist” of them all! Maybe because he’s Austrian. Or maybe because behind his sardonic facade lies some dark secrets. But most likely, he just likes being sardonic.

Sebastian
Sebastian is a forest ranger who works in a national park in the south of Italy. In Aarau for a visit, he meets Anna-Maria while jogging and their chemistry is immediate, even if she gets the feeling he isn’t telling the whole truth about himself. Which he’s not – as we’ll all find out…

Katharina
Miss Pulver is the curator of Aargau’s art museum. When an unknown person gains access and plants a coffin containing the skeleton of an anonymous child in front of a famous Albert Anker painting, Luc is called in and strikes up a friendship (or something more?) with the knowledgeable director.
