Tiivistelmä
An autopsy is a detailed systematic external and internal examination of a corpse carried out by a pathologist or a medicolegal expert to ascertain the causes and, depending on the jurisdiction, also the manner of death. Clinical autopsy is performed to investigate the extent of a known disease and the effectiveness of treatment, and sometimes for medical audit or research purposes also. Usually, the consent of relatives is needed. Medicolegal autopsy is ordered by the competent legal authority (e.g., coroner, medical examiner, judge, or the police) to investigate sudden, unexpected, suspicious, or criminal deaths.
