Question

Describe what an autopsy is and the types of information it provides about the manner and cause of death.

Answer 1

Answer:

An autopsy is a careful examination that is being carried out or done on an organ or the whole body of a deceased, just to know the cause of death.

Explanation:

It should be understood that, during an autopsy , a Y shaped incision is usually made from area of the shoulder to the pelvic bone. This will allow the removal of the neck and chest organs, because the rib cage will be taken out after the abdominal cavity is exposed. The organs are taken out for easy dissection.

This information will help in determining the cause of the death, because an insight will be provided on what those organs were going through in keeping the person alive.

Note that, the cause of the death will be determined quicker with more exact and precise diagnose.

Answer 2

Autopsy’s allow people to know the cause of death of the person. They can tell you if the person was intoxicated, injured, how they were killed, also it can be a huge evidence source to solve other cases that have similar causes of deaths. Hope it helps :)
