    Case Study Of Forensic Pathology

    Part A Using a picture to determine cause of death is not reliable for a forensic pathologist. A photograph could show external injuries and the environment where the body was found but a forensic pathologist cannot properly identify how the victim died from a photo. There could be indications of a specific cause of death but forensic pathologists have to be able to touch and analyse the body for a concrete answer. A number of analyses are completed on a deceased body, including blood work and autopsies to determine cause of death. Through examinations like autopsies, internal organs can be examined for unusual features that could prove natural or unnatural cause of death.…
