  • Cost and procedures for accessing autopsy information, 1/13/2022
    Some common questions come up in homicide cases when a defense attorney needs to access information from the OCME and regional autopsy centers and speak with the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy in the case. This post addresses some of these questions using information obtained from the four offices that perform autopsies for North …
  • What records are available in a death investigation case?, 1/6/2020
    Attorneys have asked me what discovery should be available from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in cases where an autopsy was performed by that office.

    According to the North American Entomology Association, it is easy for investigators to attribute postmortem damage to a body due to insect activity to antemortem occurrences.

  • The “Magnificent Seven Errors” in Forensic Autopsy Practice: The Italian Context

    This article provides a framework for identifying potential errors in death investigations. Attorneys should consider whether any of these are potential issues in their homicide cases. The types of errors identified are: oversights in autopsy technique, incorrect collection of photographic and video material, unauthorized attendance at the autopsy, missing/mistaken reporting at any stage of the forensic activity, failure to notify the party forensic consultant, using histological or toxicological nonaccredited laboratories for forensic activities, and lack of observance of the chain of custody.

    Live webinar, Sponsored by NACDL
  • Forensic Epidemiology: Monitoring Fatal Drug Overdose Trends, FTCOE

    The Forensic Technology Center of Excellence is offering this free webinar program.

    Given the vital role of medical examiners and coroners (ME/C) in recognizing emerging trends in drug overdose deaths, partnering epidemiologists with ME/C offices can greatly enhance the utility of the significant volume of data generated by medicolegal death investigation. Epidemiologists from three unique ME jurisdictions—North Carolina, New Mexico and Virginia—share their experiences with monitoring drug overdose deaths, trends observed, and how best to utilize ME/C data to inform public health policy.

    Detailed Learning Objectives:

    1) Describe the potential role of epidemiologists in medical examiner offices and how they can assist in utilizing medicolegal death investigation data.

    2) Understand current trends in drug overdose deaths as analyzed by three large statewide ME jurisdictions.

    3) Understand the challenge of balancing state-mandated priorities with research and public health outreach.
