In the book, cases such as economy class syndrome leading to sudden death from blood clots, death from suffocation even though the nose and mouth were breathable, fatal pericardial tamponade caused by 300 ml of blood loss, perforation of internal organs caused by hitting the steering wheel in a car accident, and subcutaneous bleeding leading to renal failure caused by beatings, etc., Have sounded the alarm to the world. There are two main purposes of forensic autopsy: First, criminal investigation, which is the autopsy of the remains of people who died after being involved in criminal cases. The information obtained by the autopsy will become the basic information for the police to solve the case and will also be used as evidence in court; the second is to understand the cause of death, which is to perform anatomy on the remains of unknown causes of death. An autopsy can not only determine the cause of death, but can also help the family of the deceased prevent disease. For example, if it is found through an autopsy that the deceased died of some infectious disease or genetic disease, the family of the deceased needs to be notified to prevent the corresponding disease.
