Definición

  • Medical examiners are physicians who are charged with the diligent investigation and rigorous examination of the body of a person who has died a sudden, violent, unexpected, or suspicious death. Serving within a particular geographic jurisdiction and under legal guidelines, they are responsible for accurately determining the cause and manner of such deaths, as well as aiding in making a positive identification of the body when the identity of the deceased is in question.
