The Forensic Autopsy

A forensic autopsy is a detailed medical examination of a deceased person performed by a specialized doctor called a forensic pathologist. It aims to determine the cause and manner of death, especially in unexplained or suspicious cases. The process involves examining the body externally and internally, including organs and tissues, to identify injuries, diseases, or toxins. The findings help law enforcement and legal proceedings, providing important information for investigations. The procedure respects the person’s dignity and follows strict guidelines to ensure accuracy and respect for the deceased.
