What is an "autopsy"?
An autopsy is a medical procedure performed after death to examine a body and identify the cause of death. During the autopsy, a specialized doctor carefully examines the organs and tissues of the person who has passed away. This examination may include looking at body tissues under a microscope and analyzing fluids. Autopsies help to confirm diagnoses, understand disease progression, and identify any underlying conditions that helped cause the person's death. These procedures can be essential for medical, legal, or family reasons, such as resolving questions about the cause of death.
