About
It is a branch of medicine dealing with the application of
medical knowledge to establish facts in civil or criminal legal cases, such as
an investigation into the cause and time of a suspicious death. Also known as
forensic pathology.
Forensic medicine mainly deals with examination and
assessment of individuals who have been—or are suspected to have been—injured
or killed by external influence such as trauma or intoxication, but also of
individuals who are suspected of having injured another person. This means that
not only victims and suspects of crime, but also suicides and accidental
fatalities are examined by a specialist in forensic medicine (or forensic
pathology).
