Description

Forensic pathology is the sub-specialty of pathology that focuses on medico-legal investigations of sudden or unexpected death. Forensic pathologists have a critical and pivotal role in death investigation, examining the body of the deceased to define the cause of death, factors contributing to death, and to assist with the reconstruction of the circumstances in which the death occurred. As with all medical consultations, the diagnostic process involves the forensic pathologist integrating evidence from the deceased’s medical history, the supposed circumstances surrounding the death, the findings of post-mortem medical examination (autopsy) and the results of laboratory investigations undertaken as part of the autopsy. A post-mortem examination typically involves careful examination and documentation of the appearances of the body of the deceased and dissection of internal organs and structures. A sound knowledge of normal anatomical findings and variants as well as anatomical pathology (including normal histological appearances and variants) is essential, particularly as microscopic assessment of body tissues is often needed to enable a precise diagnosis. Forensic pathologists work closely with other death investigators including coroners, police and forensic scientists; they may be required to attend scenes of death and are often required to testify in court.
