#post-mortem

• To autopsy — To examine a human corpse through structural dissection and macroscopic or microscopic analysis of internal organs, with the goal of precisely establishing the medical or forensic cause of death, the progression of latent diseases, or the nature of sustained injuries. This rigorous clinical process allows the anatomo-pathological documentation of tissue changes and is essential in investigating violent, suspicious, or sudden deaths, providing objective data for forensic expertise.
• Autopsied — Having undergone an autopsy; a corpse or human body structurally dissected and anatomically examined by a forensic pathologist to determine the cause of death. In forensic and medical terminology, it describes the post-mortem state of an organism after its biological cavities have been opened, analyzed, and sutured according to standard investigation protocols.
• Autopsy — A medical examination and structural surgical dissection of a corpse, performed post-mortem by a specialist physician to determine with exact precision the cause of death, the nature of organic injuries, the presence of toxins, or the progression of acute or chronic pathological conditions. This mandatory scientific procedure in cases of violent or suspicious deaths provides essential biological and macroscopic evidence for forensic expertise and criminal investigation files.
• Performing an autopsy — The act of performing an autopsy on a corpse and its result; the practical execution of the surgical and scientific protocol for internal post-mortem body examination through sectioning, structural evisceration, and macro-microscopic organ analysis. The process of autopsying is a fundamental forensic step in determining the direct cause of death, the mechanism of injury production, and the time elapsed since death, holding scientific evidence value in criminal proceedings.
