A Medical Examiner is a licensed physician who specializes in determining the cause of death in cases of sudden, unexplained, or violent deaths. They perform autopsies, which are thorough examinations of the body, to gather evidence and provide insights into how and why a person died. Their findings can be crucial in legal investigations and may help in criminal cases. In addition to conducting autopsies, Medical Examiners also review medical records, collect evidence from crime scenes, and may testify in court as expert witnesses. They work closely with law enforcement, forensic scientists, and other professionals to ensure accurate and comprehensive investigations.
