Forensic Pathology of Trauma provides practical advice to pathologistsabout the conduct and analysis of the forensic autopsy in a case oftrauma. This volume reinforces the systematic manner in which theforensic pathologist must approach all medicolegal trauma deathinvestigations in order to avoid common mistakes that may confuseaccurate interpretation of a case or compromise a medicolegalinvestigation. The authors present a step-wise approach to the entireforensic investigation, from the collation of information about thedeath scene and the background of the deceased, to the external andinternal examination of the body, concluding with tests on theevidentiary material collected postmortem. A value-added CD presentscolor images of the investigative figures in the text.

The introductory chapter covers risk management in the autopsy and isfollowed by a focused examination of postmortem changes, the "greatpretenders" in forensic pathology, and the ways in which they can mimicor obscure trauma.
