Course Description

Learn about the death investigation process for these two categories:

  • Suicide – death, a purposeful action set in motion to end one's life, and only their final actions can be relevant to the investigation
  • Homicide – death, from intentional harm to a person by another person

Documentation and evaluation of both the scene and the body are discussed in detail for each of these categories, including the differences between the medical and legal determination of homicide. The forensic autopsy/medical examination of the body is also studied, including the medical and non-medical factors unique to each case.

Prerequisites
