postmortem diagnosis

Postmortem diagnosis refers to the process of determining the cause of death after a person has passed away. It usually involves examining the body through procedures like an autopsy, where medical experts look at organs, tissues, and fluids to identify disease, injury, or other factors that led to death. This helps provide clarity for families, legal reasons, or medical research. The process combines visual inspection, laboratory tests, and information from medical history to arrive at a diagnosis, ensuring a thorough understanding of the circumstances surrounding the person's passing.
