Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents death investigation at the scene and autopsy, providing a broad understanding of forensic pathology and giving a clear picture of what happens after the examination of the scene. It covers what first responders should (and should not) do at the scene and a forensic pathologist's perspective on the importance of preserving evidence, and explains what happens during autopsy to determine cause and manner of death and how findings are presented in court. |
