Clinical Autopsy
A clinical autopsy is a medical examination of a deceased person's body to determine the cause of death and to gather information about any underlying medical conditions that may have contributed.
If a death was expected, a clinical autopsy may be requested to investigate possible inherited diseases, or better understand treatments used to fight a disease.
This is in contrast to a Forensic Autopsy, which may be required by state law if the death was unexpected or possibly related to criminal activity.
Also known as a Medical Autopsy.
