An autopsy is performed on a deceased human being by a pathologist, who is a medical doctor, an MD, who also did a 4 year residency in anatomic pathology. In general, autopsies are performed to determine 4 specific things: the time of death, the cause of death, any damage to the body (including damage from diseases), and the type of death (suicide, murder, or natural causes). It is illegal for anyone but a medical professional to manipulate a dead body. | An autopsy is performed on a deceased human being by a pathologist, who is a medical doctor, an MD, who also did a 4 year residency in anatomic pathology.
