Forensic Pathology
Forensic Pathology is a branch of medicine focusing on examining and documenting the cause of death and injury. It applies the principles of medicine, pathology, and law in a scientific manner to investigate deaths and crimes. Forensic Pathologists gather evidence from the scene of the crime, perform autopsies to determine the cause and manner of death, and testify in court as expert witnesses. Forensic Pathology is an essential tool in solving homicides, determining suicide, and providing answers to families of those who have died suddenly or unexpectedly. Its findings are also used to identify mass disasters and to present scientific evidence in aiding criminal and civil investigations.
