The body has already been identified and
lawful consent obtained.
The pathologist first examines
the outside of the body.
The pathologist always examines the neck
very carefully.
Open the skull l, using a
special vibrating saw.
The top of the skull is removed, and the brain
is cut free of its attachments.
Inspecting the brain often reveals
surprises. A good pathologist takes
some time to do this.
The body is opened using
a Y-shaped incision
The incisions are carried down to the
neck, the thoracic cage,and the cavity of
the abdomen
Examines the heart, and the first step
following its removal is sectioning the
coronary arteries.
The pathologist has found something
important. It appears that this man had a fatty
liver.
