Forensic Autopsy Demonstration
Focus: Students will participate in an interactive human cadaver demo using video
conferencing. The demo will discuss the basic procedure of a forensic autopsy, during
which the principles of objectivity, scientific method and evidence gathering will be
outlined.
Major Concepts: The forensic autopsy is of paramount importance when investigating a suspicious death. Objectivity and meticulousness in evidence gathering are essential to the process. A solid understanding of human physiology as well as the processes that occur postmortem is also invaluable in this type of investigation.
Objectives: After completing this activity students will be able to
• Know the guidelines for proper evidence gathering
• Recount the basic procedure for the forensic autopsy
• Know the postmortem processes which assist in determining time and cause of
death
Prerequisite Knowledge: Students should be familiar with the following organ systems: Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Musculoskeletal, and Urinary. They should also have a basic understanding of scientific method. This lesson might be best used as a follow up to a general cadaver demonstration.
Time Required: 50 minutes (40 minute demonstration + ten minute post test)
Materials and Preparation:
• Video conferencing equipment.
• Cadaver dissected to demonstrate an autopsy
• Long forceps for identifying structures.
• Post-test answer form (1 copy per student)
