Why Perform an Autopsy
An autopsy, or post-mortem examination, is a thorough examination of the body—both externally and internally—that aims to diagnose disease, assess injuries, and ascertain the cause of death. Ideally performed within 24 hours after death, an autopsy offers vital insights into the five legally acceptable manners of death: natural, accidental, suicidal, homicidal, and undetermined. By conducting detailed analyses of tissue, cell samples, and body fluids, we can uncover information that may resolve unanswered questions for families and physicians alike.
The primary motivation behind our medical autopsy services is to bring clarity to the nature of the decedent’s illness or cause of death. Autopsies can provide valuable health information to surviving family members, including the detection of genetic and inherited conditions, contagious diseases, and environmental hazards.
