Course Description

Learn about the death investigation processes within three categories:

Natural death, resulting primarily from a disease
Accidental death, when there is little or no evidence of an intent to cause harm
Undetermined death, when there is uncertainty about the circumstances surrounding the death

Documentation and evaluation of both the scene and the body will be discussed in detail, and the forensic autopsy/medical examination process of the body is also studied, including the medical and non-medical factors unique to each case.
