Introduction: I believe that investigation plays a very big role in a death because without investigating the death and crime scene nobody knows what possibly took place and caused the death. Investigating the death of someone is also important because it determines what type of death the investigator is dealing with. When investigating death, there are different things that need to be known such as cause, manner and mechanism of death. Topic I - Manner of Death A. What is Manner of Death? B.…
On October 1, 1986, Tracy Gilpin, 15, disappeared and was reported missing in Kingston. Three weeks later, her body was found in a makeshift grave in Myles Standish State Forest. During the autopsy, the medical examiner ruled the cause of death a large fracture in the skull and the manner of death a homicide. At the time, however, the culprit went unidentified. For more than thirty years, her family went without answers. Though she was 16 at the time of her sister’s death, she grew up to become…
As a forensic autopsy technician I can relate to this. When I go to work I do not see “dead bodies”, if I did I probably would not be able to do this job. You look at it as walking into a meat market and cutting up meat because that is kind of what it is.

A good investigator must always proceed with caution when conducting an investigation involving a supposed natural death. A failure to notice minute details or to approach an investigation objectively can result in a murder being overlooked. Essentially, the natural death scene that was described certainly requires further investigation. The victim is lying face down and lividity has formed on their back. Moreover, when considering the manner in which the lividity process works, such…
I think Oswald was a lone killer and nobody helped him because how could he shot three bullets in a matter of seconds. Also what about those suspects that the police interviewed where they said they saw smoke coming out of the grass and those train conductor. When Oswald was arrested he had a fake id. The id said his name was Alex Hidell. No prints were uncovered on Oswald’s rifle until after his death. Then a palm smudged print was found on the ground. When Oswald was in the operating room…
like for a professional in the crime lab. That included the very ins and outs (no pun intended) of an autopsy. An autopsy is a surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present, usually performed by a pathologist. As a class we learned many things by observing several autopsy procedures. For instance, naming the organs as they were being taken out and dissected, identifying…

After the body of Richthofen was recovered and autopsy was performed. The conclusion of this autopsy showed that “the round that killed von Richthofen had entered the right side of his chest “about the level of the ninth rib...just in front of the posterior axillary line. The bullet appears to have passed obliquely…
