Forensic pathology is an application of medical jurisprudence. A forensic pathologist is a medical doctor who has completed training in anatomical pathology and has subsequently specialized in forensic pathology. The requirements for becoming a "fully qualified" forensic pathologist is charged with determining the cause and manner of death. Tissues and organs removed during an autopsy are examined for evidence of disease and inquiry and may also be examined under the microscope. Analysis of fluids taken from the body, such as blood or urine, also provides information about disease to the pathologist. The books examine investigative techniques and procedures that lead to obtaining accurate conclusions of death by homicide, accident, or suicide.
