On the trail of the cause of death. What do the findings during an autopsy indicate? A sudden natural death or a violent one? Suicide or accident? What is diagnostically relevant, and what is not? Autopsy findings that have similar external appearances are often difficult to interpret and differentiate. This book provides valuable assistance for proper autopsy practice: interchangeable findings of different causes are presented in comparative image pairs. The accompanying text highlights the characteristic distinguishing features and offers practical advice for further action. The presentation of findings focuses on changes in corpses, the effects of violence, pathological and age-related skin changes, as well as discovery situations. The work is aimed at doctors of all specialties, criminal investigators, and medical professionals.
