When do Forensic Pathologists Get Involved? 1. When the coroner is unable to answer

any of the 5 questions

2. When there is a possibility of involvement in the criminal justice system




Why do pathologists perform an autopsy? Two Main Reasons:


1. Discovery (cause & manner of death)

2. Documentation (details on injuries, diseases, etc.)




What is a forensic pathologist? - A medical doctor


- Specialist certifications in anatomical pathology and additional training in forensic pathology

- Requires at least 14 years of university & postgrad training

- Most forensic pathologists also hold master's degrees or PhDs

- Has the knowledge of the effects of disease & injury on the body in the context of the law




The Pathologist Register 1. Category A (forensic pathologists)

Cause of Death The actual trauma, event, disease or illness that triggers the physiological

process resulting in death (ex: asphyxia)




Can be immediate or underlying:

--> Immediate: the disease, injury, or complication directly preceding death and which is the

ultimate consequence of the underlying cause

--> Underlying: the disease or injury initiating the chain of events that ultimately lead to the

cessation of life




Mechanism of Death - The physiological or functional derangement resulting in failure of

one or more vital organs

- Usually doesn't require mention in death certificates

- Ex: cardiac arrhythmia, respiratory arrest, sepsis, multisystem organ failure




Manner of death The means by which death occurred




Five manners: accident, suicide, homicide, natural, undetermined




Pending Cause of Death - The cause of death can be named as "pending" by the

pathologist if it is still unknown after the autopsy and there is a possibility that further

information may permit his/her determination of the cause of death

- Indicates additional studies or investigations are needed, like toxicology in drug related deaths




The Medico-Legal Autopsy - a medical investigation on behalf of greater society to

determine how and why its citizens die

- Performed under legislation of the Coroner's Act, NOT family consent.




True or False: When a coroner takes jurisdiction of a body, the family has no rights to the

remains until the body is released back to them True
