medical examiners

Medical examiners are specially trained doctors, often forensic pathologists, who investigate deaths, especially those that are sudden, unexpected, or suspicious. They perform autopsies to determine the cause and manner of death, such as disease, injury, or accident. They also examine the scene, review medical records, and gather evidence to provide clear, professional conclusions. Their work helps provide closure for families, aids criminal investigations, and contributes to public health data. Medical examiners play a crucial role in understanding deaths to ensure justice, safety, and accurate reporting.
