autopsy procedures

An autopsy is a thorough examination of a deceased person's body to determine the cause of death and gather information about their health. The process involves carefully making incisions, examining internal organs, and collecting samples for testing. Pathologists use specialized tools to look for disease, injury, or other conditions that contributed to death. The procedure is performed with respect and care, often in a private setting, and findings help provide closure for families, aid in medical understanding, and contribute to public health knowledge.
