Abstract:
Forensic pathology is an important area of criminal investigation, providing valuable information on the cause and manner of death, especially in cases of suspected foul play. Through the integration of medical knowledge with legal and investigative processes, forensic pathologists can differentiate between natural, accidental, and criminal deaths. They conduct autopsies, analyze medical evidence, and work with law enforcement to uncover the most important information necessary for solving crimes and serving justice to victims and their families. An investigation into the cause and manner of death involves a scrutiny of autopsy findings, toxicology reports, among other scientific information that is available. Forensic pathologists consider the presence of injuries, toxins, and even existing diseases to make a correct determination. They further go into the circumstances surrounding death by assessing the crime scene, among which the investigations could include the statements from the witnesses given that they would be needed in establishing whether it is a homicide, suicide, accident, or natural occurrence. Today, roles in forensic pathology have improved tremendously due to improved technology. By way of digital autopsies, advanced imaging, and DNA analysis, these cases can now be reexamined more accurately, hence solving otherwise impossible cold cases. This paper is assumed as of the very much-needed and imperative role that plays within criminal investigations in terms of obstacles it faces alongside developments it is being made and stresses upon its value toward the criminal justice system.
