The practice of forensic pathology includes the collection and
analysis of evidence in relation to a corpse in order to establish
the cause of death. Knowledge of the cause of death contributes to
the determination of the manner of death by medical examiners and
coroners, who are occasionally assisted by law enforcement
officers. In the process of establishing the cause and manner of
death, representatives of various investigative bodies have several
responsibilities, including explaining the death to family members,
attempting to reduce the risk of similar deaths in the future, and,
if applicable, apprehending the individuals who are responsible for
the death. The most well-known and popular role of a forensic
pathologist is in the inves- gation of cases of suspicious death;
however, most medicolegal autopsies involve unexpected deaths that
are above suspicion, many of which are caused by trauma (trauma
being defined as any physical force or agent that causes bodily
harm). The purpose of Forensic Pathology of Trauma: Common Problems
for the Pathologist is to provide practical advice and information
about the conduct of the forensic autopsy in cases of trauma, and
to offer guidance about the analysis of the autopsy findings in
these cases.
