Question

Autopsies are only performed for a homicide

Answer 1

False. Autopsies are performed most of time for things other than a homicide. 

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: false

Autopsies are performed to the body that didn't die from a natural cause or known disease. This will include homicide or suicide. Some case that suspected to be suicide would be a homicide that was covered by the criminal. In this case, the body is examined for any unnatural or suspicious sign that might be caused by the killer. Autopsy also needed in a malpractice case.
