It is important to understand in medicolegal death investigation what 'homicide' is. From our book and course: "Death resulting from intentional harm (explicit or implicit) of one person by another, or by grossly reckless behavior." - In death investigation, homicide is the medical determination. Without making any judgment on this case, this demonstrates that it is important in both civil and criminal, and even probate cases, the value of understanding the autopsy, process, rulings and criteria.
It is also important to understand that the difference between a fatality and serious bodily injury is often only a series of events or fractions of an inch. Autopsy means "to see with one's own eyes", which a trained medicolegal death investigator and forensic pathologist can assist with in serious bodily injury cases.
