01Death investigation and identification
A defensible death investigation connects the scene, medical history, external and internal examination, laboratory results and the circumstances under which each observation was obtained. Distinguish an underlying disease or injury from the final physiological mechanism.
408 words, about 2 min02Injury and ballistic interpretation
Describe injuries before assigning intent. Record site relative to landmarks, dimensions, configuration, depth when assessable, associated tissue changes and the condition in which the examination occurred.
382 words, about 2 min03Asphyxial and environmental deaths
Asphyxial investigation requires a coherent mechanism rather than one supposedly diagnostic external sign. Petechiae and facial congestion can occur in several circumstances and are not specific proof of strangulation.
422 words, about 2 min04Clinical and postmortem toxicology
Clinical toxicology begins with physiological stabilization and a structured exposure assessment. A toxidrome is a pattern that guides urgent reasoning, not absolute chemical identification.
379 words, about 2 min05Ethics, documentation and quality
A forensic medical opinion should be independent of the preferences of the person who requested it. Clearly separate observations, interpretations, assumptions and limitations.
