forensic autopsy

A forensic autopsy is a detailed examination of a body performed by a medical doctor, called a forensic pathologist, to determine the cause and manner of death. It involves carefully inspecting the body, documenting injuries, and collecting samples for analysis. This process helps uncover whether the death was natural, accidental, suicidal, or caused by someone else. Forensic autopsies are often conducted in criminal investigations, providing critical evidence for law enforcement and legal proceedings. The goal is to understand how and why a person died, contributing to justice and public health insights.
