Abstract
The autopsy and the external examination of the corpse become a decisive instance when resolving issues of various matters related to an individual. Its aim is not only to establish a diagnosis, but also to provide information about facts related to an illness or legal proceedings. The main tasks of this analysis are firstly to establish death and then to determine the cause and manner of death.
