The reasons for performing hospital autopsy examinations are varied, ranging from

simple to complex. To the family, the reason may simply be to find out the cause of the
death. To the physicians, the reason may be to uncover the progression and
interactions of multiple disease processes and the effects of therapy. Ultimately, the
autopsy examination provides a clinicopathologic correlation to be used by both the
family and the patient's physicians.

The first happening was that the hair of the victim was used for the constriction ligature, so we assumed that the
victim is a girl. The slight cyanosis on the victim’s scalp is caused by hitting the victim’s head using a hard object.
The victim was strangled using her hair and had a trauma due to the profound shock that is caused by the minor
impact to the victim’s head. 
The victim died because the killer strangled her to death. Because of the ligature, the victim was not able to
move. The victim tried to remove the ligatures by force, causing her skin to abrade.

What Is an Autopsy? Who Performs the Procedure?

 An autopsy is a medical procedure involving the examination of a dead body. An

autopsy is sometimes termed an obduction or a post-mortem examination. The

word autopsy is derived from the Greek word autopsia, which means "to see with

one's own eyes."

 Autopsies are performed by pathologists, medical doctors who have received

specialty training in the diagnosis of diseases by the examination of body fluids

and tissues.
 Autopsies are performed for a variety of reasons, including:
o to determine the cause of death

o to ascertain whether clinical diagnoses are correct

o to evaluate the effectiveness of medical or surgical treatment

o to gain information for the family about possible inherited or genetic

conditions
o for teaching and/or research purposes in academic hospitals

o to aid in criminal investigations of wrongful death

 o to provide closure and reassurance for family members who may have

questions about diagnoses or treatment

 Forensic autopsies are a specialized form of autopsy with legal implications that

are performed to determine if a given death was an accident, homicide, suicide,

or a natural event
