Forensic Pathology Death Investigation Bioethics and Other Medicolegal Principles

The field of forensic pathology has progressed from its roots in antiquity, with the first documented medicolegal autopsy being performed on Julius Caesar following his murder, to modern day, where it includes molecular autopsy and post-mortem imaging. This evolving field of medicine excites the imaginations of the public, media and physicians. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of this field and contributes to areas that are largely ignored by forensic pathology textbooks.  These topics include: death investigation bioethics, principles of courtroom testimony, and the negative medicolegal autopsy.
